2gb

I'm majoring in Computer Science in the hopes of programming/working on video games as a career. I mod in my spare time, for fun. In order to do that, I need RAM, and lots of it.

 

[UNCjigga]

pwns with multitasking, better buffering when recording video from tuner to HD, games much smoother and faster loading levels. I only wish I had a GB in my laptop now.

 

[Nebben]

I definitely appreciate having it. Even though I never maxed out my old system with 512MB, it's nice to have headroom so you don't have to even worry about it.

And there's one instance now that I use 75% of it... running an emulated EverQuest server while playing on it on the same machine

 

[thomsbrain]

yup. i can easily eat up 500+ MB just with audio programs. tack windows and AIM and Outlook, etc, on to that, and I'm up into the 650 MB range.

that's probably not enough!

 

[surreal1221]

certainly, gaming . . . graphic design. . . video editing.

 

[Landroval]

I multitask and usually have at least 3-4 programs running

 

[PricklyPete]

Hell yes. On my work machine I often times have a couple development environments, powerdesigner, VSS, outlook, and several other apps open at one time. My desktop only has 512MB and my laptop has 1Gig...you can tell the difference.

At home I have a Gig on my main workstation because I play games like HL2, Doom3, etc....and they all benefit from the extra Ram.

by the way, ask these questions in General Hardware...not OT.

Yes, I can justify it, it's a business expense.

nope, that's why I have 2

I got lucky and got it on sale for $150 per 1gb stick for my laptop. WOWIE it's great

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I needed new RAM. It was cheap. Justification done!

 

[loic2003]

Allows me to alt-tab in the middle of games and not have a tress about it.

Well worth it.

 

[FoBoT]

why do people climb mountains?

Yeah, Sims 2 (oddly enough) is a memory hog, especially if you added the University expansion pack. I still have 512 MB in my computer, and it hits the swap file hard when loading my neighborhoods. The sims2.exe process alone can eat over 350MB when fully loaded.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Why would you need to justify it?

 

[J Heartless Slick]

"can you justify having that gig of RAM?"

Memory is not a bottle neck in my system.

 

[LongAce]

No, but i just bought a 1 gig so i can be cool and post on this thread.

when I'm encoding vids, I can actually still use smaller apps... before it would be at a standstill... couldn't even touch the thing.
