How Much RAM Does Your Computer Have?
I remember the days of having only 256MB of RAM, do you? Now that I have several GB of RAM, it’s hard to think back and understand how I managed to function in those days. How did I make anything work? How did I get anything accomplished? How much RAM do you have these days?

Only 1GB on desktop.
2GB on both my laptops.
4GB on my web and database servers.
With increasing computing requirements of software these days, there is never enough.

Well, I have only 256MB of RAM, but my computer isn’t really slow. Only when I have like 25 windows opened up at the same time or something ;)

2 GB and I couldn’t use any more. I run out of resources with windows before the computer even begins to use up the memory. Unless one process needs a lot more memory, according to the Task Manager all I can use is about 1.6 GB.
I had to add a second computer which only has 1GB to move some of the work I was using my computer for and then connect to it and its monitor using Synergy.
I was wondering if Vista fixes the Windows resource problem or not.

I currently have 1gb of ram on my computer, but I plan to upgrade to 2gb when I need to. Ido agree you can’t have too much ram.

Hello,
With the price of memory being so relatively inexpensive these days, I find it hard not to install the maximum amount of memory in a computer when I build one.
One still has to pay a premium for buying memory from the manufacturer since they treat this is a for-profit value-ad, but one can buy the same type of memory from a memory manufacturer for significantly less and install the memory in under five minutes in most desktop computers.
It might make sense to purchase memory with the computer if the computer is a notebook and opening it up to install the memory requires some disassembly of the unit.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

I remember being alright with 128 mb of ram on my windows 98 custom made system, the coolest thing I remember about it was the 32x cd rom drive LOL. that was a fun flash back, to when my computers would now be equivalent to my cell phone… actually my blackberry could whamp my old compy. oh well, now my Lappy has 4 Gb ram minus system resources and graphics card.
