Technically, that makes no sense. When you say you only have 4gb left, it sounds like you're making the all-too-common mistake of conflating RAM and Hard Drive.

i figured that i was wrong with that. yah, i have 4gb of RAM and lots of memory.

either way, my computer is better yet it will not be installed until tomorrow. :(

No, you have 4gb of memory and lots of hard drive space. Memory is associated with RAM. RAM = Random Access Memory.

Hah, I misread, but wow, my face was surprised when I thought your grandmothers was better as it is usually the otherway round. Nothing bad implied towards you.

You never know, his grandma could be some uber1337 with a core i7, 8gigs, quad 4850s, and a raid 5 array of velociraptors. She could be the one that owns you in multiplayer. Everytime.
