Is 512 mb enough??

hey everyone!

going in for a new rig based on c2d e6300 with intel 975 mobo with ddr2 512 mb ram… yes, yes i AM going to upgrade to 1 gb later but the thing i wanted to know is that is there any performance loss in using 512 mb?

obviously, 1 gb is better but one of my friends told me that with 512 mb the c2d does not run up to its full potential… is that for real?

thanks..

Yup,u need atleast 1GB to get the most out of that C2D.
