For those of you with 2 GB RAM - do you feel it's enough?

[C++]

No, it honestly doesn't feel like enough for me. However, if I didn't have to work on several Photoshop documents with over 150 layers each, I think it would be enough.

go general use and light gaming i find that 4gb is mighty nice. Memory is so cheap, why bother getting less...

[SVG Veteran]

Seems a lot and I'm on Vista Ultimate.. There's hardly been any incident when all of it gets used up.. Even while encoding videos the CPU usage is ~90% whereas RAM ~80%.. I don't play many games so dunno bout others

I'm on 4Gb and I can honestly say I don't think I've ever used it all. I have definitely used about 3Gb on a regular basis, though.

i've 4 gig in both my dektop and my laptop. Prior to that my desktop had 1.5 gig, and it was nowhere near enough. As the person a few posts above said, with ram so cheap why go for less than 4gig, 8 if you can afford it (and have compliant hardware/os

[zshadow]

Nope.. I used to have 2GB RAM and it is not enough, at least on Vista. 4GB is enough for me right now though.

i run vista great on 2GB DDR 400 but at times i might go over 2GB but i don't want to lose my dual channel and go to single channel but i tend to have many things running even when i game and it don't slow down at all but if i do VM's then i usualy go over 2GB but not by much.i got extra memory but am holding off because i don't want to lose dual channel.

Nope. Going to upgrade to 4GB asap!

[MMaster23]

Way more than enough. If you say you need more, you're either overcompensating for some other problem you have or you run editting/programming suites that eat RAM or use virtualisation.

I make tech demo's using my machines so I need all the ram I need .. thinking of upgrading towards 8GB. At normal use I barely hit 1.5GB tough...

I have 2 gb of ram and it still sometimes locks up or laggs, I feel when I have 4gb, Then! I will have enough :)

When you have 1gb, you feel that its slow sometimes and 2gb will be enough.

When you have 2gb, you feel that its slow sometimes and 4gb will be enough.

When you have 4gb, you feel that its slow sometimes and 8gb will be enough.

When you have 8gb, you smile.

I have 3gb atm (3x1gb), two are decent OCZ Platinum or w/e its called and then the other is just a random one I dumped in there. Its fine for me.

on a P4 @ 3.0ghz with 2gig ram vista runs great i think.

[Rappy Veteran]

I feel 2gb is enough for what I use it for, if I bought a new desktop I would probably go for 4gb.

[teaumaz]

More than enough for me on Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP, simultaneously running Photoshop, fireworks and Dreamweaver CS3....

[Malskazz]

Vista is **** until you have a decent CPU and 3+ GB ram.. I have 8GB ram and looovin' it

[raider360]

I have 2 Gigs of OCZ 800 MHz ram and machine runs without any lags; and for general using 2 Gb is ok.

[Malskazz]

When having 2GB ram you could just aswell use xp? even better performance
