JK1150 Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 dude you would be a lot better off if you took out the 128 and 64....it slows you down a lot because of the swapping from different sticks really? I dunno, a lot of games I play really lag down at 256... my system has been having these interrupt points where it locks up for like a second, u think that's the ram?

Found a great deal on 512 sticks, and I have 2 slots open ... so... gonna fill 'er up while the price is right:woot:t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueice Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 For normal usage, 512MB is enough. But for running multiple VMs (either VMware workstation or Virtual PC), more memory is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gweedo Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 1GB PC1066. I think I need more... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHuzi0n Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 684mb and 786mb aren't even possible with current motherboard and memory modules. 640 and 768 are plausable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Quick Reply Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 256 minimum, 512 good for xp (thats how much i have now), prefer to have 1024MB though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron901 Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 i'm wondering why people would think others are showing off when they say they have 1 or 2 GB of memory. i mean, why not? if people have the cash and they want to upgrade their system a lil bit, ram is the common way to go. come on, don't be jealous of what others have. if you think 512MB is good enough for you, then just stick with it.

Schmoove Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Someone please tell me why they need 1 gig of RAM??? Where are you using that for? I have 512 mb and I think that is enough for anything, my PC hardly swaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said 768 mb to be the minimum for a games machine. Heh :) Yeah,right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 One the other hand if it wasn't for those people,memory would still cost $100/512kb :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildliquid Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 512 for me... most rendering programs dont require anymore then that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said 768 mb to be the minimum for a games machine. Heh :) Yeah,right! Well I use alot of Photoshop and Maya Unlimited, so I am into graphics, but going from 512mb to 1gb, would that be so much faster... I doubt. Even when I use Maya and Photoshop at the same time it doesn't seem to swap much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 try opening a 200-300mb bmp file.For home use 512 is enough,for professional gfx/audio it's not. For games it's just right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoove Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Ok I see your point, luckily I don't open 300mb files on a daily base :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 512 mb and I think that is enough for anything, my PC hardly swaps. I perform many testing using VMware workstation or Virtual PC and sometimes will need to have 3-4 VMs running together, 2GB is quite normal for me. For other people who doing a lot on photo-touching, open a 400MB TIF is quite normal. However, I agree that most people should see no slowdown for causal usage (like word processing, Internet access) with 512MB. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
