1 Gb also - I find it is sufficient.

3gig

I also have 1Gb.

@blairf

You didn't say how much ram, were all ears!

@fozzy (I still type foxxy every time I try to type fozzy)..

1GIG

2GB in 3 machines, 1GB in two others, don't know about the other machines (their really old).

@ Jolker 4 gig but xp only sees 3.2 of it but it was on sale when I got it and it was the fastest at the time ddr2 888
If you are thinking of getting new machine do not get vista piece of crap in my opinion \


cheers

@joker - not much of a thread mate - there's not much to get one's teeth into (thinking of Quark here!).

I think I'll start a new thread -

What size is ............ your VDU?

What think you?

Same as you Mekon

Just 1 Gig

2GB DDR2

Anyone here overclock?

Yes.

Ok explain how to overclock, for thosw of us who are ignorant

I don't advocate people who would consider themselves ignorant on the basics of over-clocking a system should even try. Keep your warranty as it will probably serve you better.

I only got 1GB. But it seems quite enough for WinXP.

That's enough for vista also.

@hush320

Are you saying you like vista and have had no problems with it?

If so you are the first on this site to say so!

Had an upgrade recently,now have 2GB's ram.

The only problem for me with vista is that it slows download speed. Other than that its just good.

Only 1Gb

@heiqal

You don't need to say 'only 1 GByte' as the norm, these days, is 1 or 2 GBytes. There is little need for more. Some people, who have 4 or more GBytes, cannot access their full memory capability. So they have wasted their money.

@hush320
What torrent client do you use? I believe that vista was not properly supported on utorrent until 1.7 so if you have a previous version you may want to look at that.

You may need to fiddle with your settings some and in some cases set your ip in preferences/bittorrent

I have had no slowdown whatsoever with vista.

My friend has a Dodge Ram, wait is that supposed to be a dumb blond joke? Hehe, 4Gigs, Not too shabby...

it's not the amt of ram you got , but how you use it

Well said Curious, I mean it could also be that you need the use of ram depending on choice of programs, Video, Graphics, it does seem like everyone is after the bigger badder processor, but I like mine, and it is all mine.

2.5 Gig Can have 4 But dont need it. Don't play games,or use griphic stuff.

Thats great OnlyMe1, due to my career choice, I need a 16Gig, but 4 works fine, what we want is never ever what we get...

@UupThere

What career is that?

I do a little video editing, webpaging and advertising, not to mention, I also help friends with any computer programing problems they might have...And the faster the processor is always better...

1-2 gigs in each box. Haven't needed more.

W~~~

2GB (with this duo-thingy, forgot the term)
New pc, but XP - denied Vista.

Just 1GB for me. But that suits my online needs :)

1 GB BUT I NEED MORE!!!!!!!!!!!

4 gigs

I have just increased my RAM by 500GBytes - a new external hard-drive. So now I have 300 internal 250GBytes and 500GBytes external. That should be enough for a few years to come.

@mekon nagila You increased you storage capabilties not your ram lol cpu is the brain ram is the heart and storage is the lungs lol

Have 1gb of ram now with new PC.

If insurance pays me for old PCthat was taken out by lightning will increase it and add more storage.

Nagila mekon

Don't you believe it.LOL ( XHD )

AHFA

2 gigs, about to order 2 more. Can't wait.

752

I find if I keep my C drive (meaning the one with windows) as uncrowded as possible my machine runs fast.

When my old Compaq died last summer I replaced it with a new Vista machine. After 2 days I returned it and spent the same money to bring my Compaq with XP back to life plus some upgrades. Vista is horrifying.

@singlew4

Vista sucks all resources out of your machine, tried for about half a day. Then a quick format of the c: drive and back to XP.

@NIP - My oldest son is a civilian computer tech for the US Army and they wont touch VISTAat this time.

I have been telling everybody for the past 7 months vista is broke. In order to run vista you need High end machine at least 4 gigs of ram and a 3.0 quad core I built machine with 8 gigs of ram It cost over 9 gs and guess what vista didnt like his brand new 900 dollar video card it would not run directx 10 which vista was made for go figure

@NIP

Vista a damn good idea but badly thought out.
Released too early just to grab money.

@joker

My son has a similar or same job at the Nevada Nuclear Testing Site. He has not seen Vista there either. My kid went to ITT, yours?

Nagila Cap - You are correct of course - I just forgot for the moment that this thread is about RAM and not storeage. Higher up this thread I'm explaining exactly this point to someone else.

AHFA

Building another PC and MB needs DDR2 ram its cheap at 15 Quid a GIG, can't be bad. Have a look at this site.

@singlew4 - He was trained by the US Army in miniture electronics and ended up in computers. Funny thing is that when he worked for me he hated computers and said he would never use one if he could help it. After he got out of service he took some tests to determine expertise for college credit and then took the courses he needed to become a certified tech.

1 GB here also.

I'll stick with Linux... Even with low system specs you can have a pretty fast up to date (Software wise) machine.

How much RAM has ROM got?

Just thought I'd post the above as I'm off for my tea now and needed the point.

Nagila Mekon

He will only read it!

Sorry Brother couldn't resist.

AHFA

I have 4 gig in my desktop but only running a 32bit operating system so I can only see 3gig. Keep meaning to upgrade to 64bit but its finding the drivers for all my devices is putting me off!!!

@Newlinux; Amen. Just burned two more boxen this weekend with the latest beta of Ubuntu...

W~~~

2g,4 on lap top

3G and I wish I was running xp pro 64

2gb

still only 4 gig but ddr2 800 still fast as ever even though xp can only see about 3.7 of it

2GB DDR2-PC6400(800mhz). Enough to run all I need on XP. On vista I would get 4gb though :-)

@interceptor02,
Windows Vista 32bit with 4gb is faster then Windows Vista with 64bit with 4gb. Even when 32bit only uses 3-3.5gb of it.

Cba to explain why, but with 4gb memory 32bit is faster then 64bit

I have 4gb on vista ultimate 32bit. P C runs slow watchingshare tv

@jimmytee that could be vista or connection speed what cpu are you running

My new computer I just had built has 16 GB DDR2 and dual AMD Phenom quad core processors and a high end graphics card with a dedicated 1GB memory,two,1TB internal SATA hard drives,Blue-Ray DVD player and a dvd/cd burner,all the interfaces you could need,plus card readers.A 26" HD,1080p,120Hz widescreen monitor.
I'm liquid cooled and overclocking is mandatory!

@nogds9 - what ar eyou using that computer for? Are you a gamer?

Well apart from the obvious bullshit that would be impressive.

Since I last posted in this thread I have have 16Gb DDR3 @ 1866Mhz

750 kperh, something or other
Adding 512 more last summer was a real help.

My mistake;16gb DDR3 SDRAM @ 1866Mhz
Yes,I am a gamer,plus I'm going to be running two OS,Vista and Linux.Bullshit?,certainly not.Next day off I will be working out my networking issues.

Still bullshit and you don't even know which part of it is not even possible do you?

4 gb of ram not going to post all would make easy picking for a good hacker.
