You shouldn't have issue running another 7950. Running 3x 7950 and XMP miner is using 1.45GB RAM.

Not too sure on this.  I have read conflicting things.  I read you need to have 1/2 the ram that you do video memory.  I have rigs with five 7950s and 8 GB DDR3 but they only use about 2 GB total.  So really I dunno.  But ram is so cheap these days I wouldnt worry about it.  If you end up needing more just go buy some.  Its cheap.

Hello all,
I currently only have a small rig going with 1 x 7950 on an old motherboard with 2gb DDR2 RAM. I was wondering if I wanted to add another card will I run into memory problems? I mostly mine Scrypt coins which I read are more memory intensive. Is there a way to measure actual RAM usage by the card?
