How much RAM do you have and is it enough?  email this discussion to a friend?

I bought a new computer about a month ago and I have to admit.. I'm over impressed with what you can do with 3GBs of RAM. I love The Sims 2... but it used to take AGES for my old computer to load so I didn't enjoy playing it that much. With my new desktop.. I can even run Itunes while still playing the Sims 2 Freestyle without any problems.

What about you? How much RAM does your Desktop / Laptop have? Is it enough for all your needs??

That reminds me. I gotta buy more RAM! lol I only have 512MB and it a pain in the.. in loading programs. Definitely not enough. Applications nowadays hogs more and more memory. (sigh) miss those days when 4MB ram was one of the best. lol

waww, 3 gbs is huge! mine is 1.25 gbs. that's enough for me, since i don't usually use "heavy" programs which are "memory eater".

Well, since the past one year, I've been having 1.5 GB ram.. Thats a 1024 mb upgrade to my previous 512 mb..
I see no necessity, as I am not a hardcore gamer.. I just browse mostly.. Thats all, so this is more than enough..

But lets face it, huge ram has its own problems.. Hybernation takes too long.. So I can only shut down everytime.

Well I never hibernate so I wouldn't know what to tell you. I've read so many rants about hibernation I never actually dared to try it. I always turn off my computer or just use the sleep feature. Doesn't hibernation take up huge amounts of disk space??

Hi itzurboykeith, hows your day my friend? Wow you have a good RAM for me its too much, but I think if you love to open many application at the same time, 3GB is reasonable capacity for a DDR2. I have one laptop using 1GB DDR2 Memory and I have also 1 personal computer that is using 1GB DDR2 Memory.

I only have 256MBs of RAM. I think it's enough for me but sometimes, it isn't when I try to run a lot of programs.

When I found out I was going to be stuck with Vista on my new lappie, I changed the order at Dell from 1 gb to 2gb.
It seems to work well as far as processor speed.
