RAM Question

from GalCiv3 Forums

So I got 16 GB installed and I'm not playing the biggest maps anyway.

 

I usually go with "gigantic" - there my RAM is shown as yellow. It plays ok, wondering if more RAM helps turn times though.

 

What exactly are the consequences of having "yellow" RAM as opposed to green? Will the game run significantly better in the same map size when I add another 16 GB?

It might affect performance late game. As the game progresses commonwealths can spawn and the game becomes more complicated. You should be "fine" but be aware if it is in the yellow you might experience issues late game with long turn times if it needs to use page file.
