4gb of ram?

[alesis_c]

Win XP runs just ok with one gig of RAM... 2 gig would be enough but not to finish off with... they used to say that you would never need gigs and gigs of hard disk space and now look at our appetite??

you say that you wont need 4 gig... try running more than one power hungry application and we'll see who is happy.. the guy with 2 gig or the guy with 4 gig??

didnt bill gates once say that 640kb for the system is clearly enough and now we have been running extended memory (re ur 1-4gig or RAM) for years now...

you can see who hasn't got a clear mind on the ''future'' mind you.

dont agree with me... then your too old

Or maybe you're too young.

its a discussion not a put down service try and broaden ur horizons

[vass0922]

alesis you're the one that started out with the insults

If you want to waste your money so be it *shrug* doesn't hurt us a bit

You are correct 640kb is NOT sufficient these days...
But they havent' been sufficient for 10 years.

What you are NOT thinking of is the fact that the odds are that by the time YOU will NEED 4 gigs of RAM your machine will be obsolete anyways.

You sound like a person that does things simply for bragging rights so you'll just buy a brand new machine in a year anyways and where will your 4 gigs of RAM get you?

Buy it... *shrug* no need to argue about it.

At work we have machines that run 500 mailboxes that range in size from 10 megs to 2 GIGS ... do we have 4 gigs of RAM? NO.. no need for it *shrug*

I find 512MB to be enough for me. While I don't use hundreds of applications at a time, I still multi-task quite a lot. I would like to have 1GB though.

$550

just saying the price of that stuff, almost 3/4 the worth of my computer

I'm kind of skeptical right now...
I use 1gb myself, but, who is to say that memory will not be modified to work much much harder and faster, with less? I know right now its not possible, but it is however, probable.
Of course, I don't own a lot of stocks, nor do I have a large cash cow. I budget my money, and in this sense, I stay skeptical about expensive purchases until I know it can prove itself... by that time, it is a fraction of the cost. For what I do, maybe 1gb is enough. If I were to go into graphic design or such, I would head upwards in memory... until then, I'm silently waiting...

1 gig is plenty for now, for me. I cant forsee putting 4 gig on this setup I have at the moment.

[alesis_c]

obviously i didnt get off on the right foot... i wasn't putting down but just using a few lines to stir..

sure 640kb hasn't been enough for 10 or so years.. but they were asking the same questions back then if u dont need more than 640kb...

sure maybe 4 gig wouldn't be used straight away but theres always innovations which come... at the moment for any application... (i am a gamer so i quote from my gaming experience) i had 512meg and i saw that it ran heapz better when i placed another stick... then i placed another 2 sticks of 512 (making it 4x512 duelddr) and it went even better causing the games to run smoother and my graphics looking smoother...

for your office applications dont even bother with 1 gig even... 512 would be enough...

but i would prefer more ram in a gamers pc for sure...

if u got the wrong idea bout me, sorry... but i thought people were just saying what mr gates said years back

[butch81385]

i use 512. i would love a gig, but i get by without it. only would use a gig in hog games like bf1942 or in applications like autocad and photoshop (at the same time)

my entire computer was about $600 aug 2002... added some stuff (120 gig hard drive, dvd burner) but am still using the 512 of "elixer" ram that it came with....
