It seems nowadays that the standard for the amount of memory is at 1gb. I have never gone anywhere near that. I've encoded movies before but still keeping it under 512.

who hear as actually found 1gb of memory useful?
 
Video encoding isn't the biggest user of memory. Working on a full-page, four-color, glossy ad for a magazine in Photoshop will happily use lots more and still be hungry. Servers will use up all you can throw at them, too. Webservers will generally cache the most recent requests in memory, so you can get a definite speed advantage there and mail-filtering programs like Spamassassin tend to be huge resource hogs and, depending on how much mail volume you're handling, will definitely benefit from several gigs of memory.

Click to expand...

i havae 1.5GB of ram. Need more than that to surf the web.

🙂
 
1 GB here, it does matter in some games (and photoshopping LARGE images, I have a 700 MB image of the earth that I was messing with when I had less RAM...wow, the slowness)
 
Upgraded from 512 -> 1gb a few months back, definitely noticed a difference. I don't work with large images, but I do game.
 
im running on 384, and i run out all the time. Most of my memory runs out after I open up Flash, Dreamweaver, and IE. Add photoshop to that and it's over. Gotta get me a 512 stick to replace the 128..
