Basically max you'll need or get at a somewhat reasonable price would be 2x 8 gig sticks (What I have and I'm sure my computers never using more than 4 gig). For ram it's not really that important you get the expensive super fast ram they try and sell, just a cheap set would be fine, make sure it's DDR3 though, and the same type so it can run dual-channel.

Depends on if its 32 or 64 bit,  32 bit wont read anything over 4gig

What other games do you play?

To be honest, don't buy it. I don't recommend integrated graphics at all spend a bit more time looking for something with dedicated graphics then you can play ALOT more of the current games without it struggling, alright the on-board is okay for scape etc but not much more i don't think.


But to answer your actual question, yes it'll take 16gb

RuneScape is pretty much the only game I play other than some flash things...

Considering its mostly to use for school projects and such, I think this is a decent choice...

It's here!

Got my new computer, which means I can play RS once again in full HD and smoothly at that!
The days of RS on 4fps with the screen looking as grainy like you're playing Tetris are OVER!

I was right; it's a 64bit system, has 4 i7 cores, 8GB ram (can be expanded to 16), and 2GB visual memory.

All I need to do now is transfer my 1TB disc from my old computer :)

Awesome, man! To be honest, I'd just stick with the 8GB. That is *very* sufficient.
