How much RAM do you have?

[mr kennedy]

I have 512MB and I run Photoshop, Flash and more recently, Adobe AfterEffects...

I would love to get a push to maybe upto 2 GB

 

[pineau]

I have 512mb but would really like to upgrade to 1gb or 2gb. I can run 4 mIRC's (3 are bots) firefox, msn, avast, and usually some sort of online game(depending on the day :biggrin without to much lag.. but it does get me sometimes lol

 

[flurgal]

i actually have 756mb but im getting a laptop soon and i am going to get a 2gb RAM unit for that. Ill be doing most of my PHP and C# on that. Its really bad on my pc because it is 8 years old. Ive wiped it twice already and it just isnt coping with all the updates. Because i have MSN, apache, mySQL, vc# and netgear - i can barely run anything more. On average i have 37 processes, i was thinking about getting a 2gb ram, but i decided to wait for the laptop.

My computer has 2GB of ram on it. I don't know why I bought ram, my computer is 10 years old and sucks anyway. I am getting a gaming computer from Newegg.com for about $1500, tell me if I could do better:

Prices a bit cryptic, the price on the right is the total.

 

[rlsoftware]

I have 32mb on my laptop

 

[warlordste]

am thinnking about gettin 8 gigs in mine atm av got 2 gigs and wanna waste my money on the comp lmao

 

[FInuyasha]

Well I have 1.5 Gigs on my Desktop, and ~ 1 gig on the laptop so total about 2.5 but I put other since you probably meant for the comp i'm on now which is 1.5. 8)

 

[xavierkym]

I've got 2mb RAM for my Laptop:thefinger

 

[callumacrae]

I've got 2mb RAM for my Laptop:thefinger

Really? Does it work or do you have windows 80 something??

 

[aneotoena]

well I have 2 gigs, I think is enough for a desktop pc for working and a some games.

 

[Smith6612]

He might've messed up his label and might've meant GB. 2MB wouldn't even run anything but DOS.

 

[masshuu]

i have 2 but i plan to bump that upto 8 gigs

i also plan to put in a couple TBs of disk space, only have 240 gigs atm

 

[Zdroyd]

Not F@#$ing Enough...

I always error out of my games (Steam Games use alot of RAM) because my RAM gets filled up...

I should have never let my parents buy me a PC three years ago, they got ripped off big time. I could have got a computer twice as good as mine for the same price.

(512mb ram)

 

[AutoItKing]

I have one and a half gigs of RAM, all of which have caused me problems.
I don't think an AMD Athlon 64 2200+ needs anymore than that. Vista probably does however..

 

[Cliff Dude]

1528 MB of RAM, about 1.49 GB.

When my computer is idle, I have 1 GB free
When I'm surfing the net, I have 800 MB free
When I'm playing Counter-Strike or using Photoshop CS3, I have 600 MB free

I have too much RAM

 

[FalseHope]

Isn't the max amount of RAM that you can get 4gbs? I can't really see how people can be on computers with 512mb of RAM. I can remember the slowness I had, which is why I went out and got two 1 gbs

You can get an 8gb stick and even then you can put more than one in each computer. It really depends on the motherboard.

I had 256mb when I made this thread. Yes, it took 10 minutes to boot up though and sometimes it be crashed for an hour...
So I don't see how people can either

 

[sonicpld]

i got 4 Gb now, but whan i get P35 mainboard i plan to move on 8 Gb :naughty:

 

[dwalk]

i have 3 GB ram on the PC and 4 on the Mac. Since windows reads more than 3.2GB but it just sits there unused, i see no need to upgrade the pc

 

[phantomrainbow]

2 gb of ram. it's pretty fast,i want to upgrade to 4 soon..
i read somewhere that if i upgrade my computer o.s to windows vista ultimate that i can have up to 8 or 16 gb ,anyone know if it's true or not..
