Games will typically only use as much RAM as they need. Usually the only limits to games is how much system RAM you have. Are there any games you having problems with?

you can on cs:s or hl2. I wouldnt mess but u type this into the console heapsize [Kilobytes] (i think thats right). then you can choose how much you want to use. its not reccomended putting in over 1/2 -3/4 of your ram though
