Is 4GB of RAM overkill?

[Spaz_Hairlip]

I have 2GB or PC3200 DDR RAM in a 875 Intel board. My buddy just got a new PC and had to extra 1GB dimms. I'm running WinXP Pro. Is 4GB a waste or to much memory?

Thanks.

no such thing as 2 much, lol...but I doubt most of it will ever even be accessed...it will sit there bored...but the chicks will love you!

I think it is a waste unless you run a LOT of programs at one time.
I bet it will feel good though. More Power.

even 2 gigs is probably overkill

2 gigs is waaaayyy enough...

i agree that 2 gigs is probably more than enough for anything common

if you wanna donate a gig, let me know

If its just for a home pc then its overkill.

You ...could... utilize it but you'd have to try really hard lol.

Now if we were talking a computer used as a server then thats the whole different story

if you wanna donate a gig, let me know

same for me!!

for a home pc ya it is overkill .

I use the PC as a gaming machine (SWG/Evercrack) and as a file server/Ventrilo server.

I'm sure it's overkill, but it should be fun, since XP can use 64gb of ram I believe.
