I'm playing Fallout 4 just fine.  Load times are a little long off and on, 
but from what I've read that seems to be a common problem no matter how 
much RAM.  Seems an SSD would help that more than more ram.  That's probably 
my next purchase.

The installer didn't block me from installing even when I had a VC 
that wouldn't handle the game, I did have to upgrade that as the game 
just crashed out before even getting the title video.  Was running an 
NVIDIA 270, now running a 950.  Running highest graphic quality.
