how much ram is good
by beyondtoday - 10/31/09 4:11 PM In reply to: I have... by SpockvaWhile I have not been one for boasting I will say I have 6gb of ram the reason for this is I have been building a multi purpose system with home theather features and blu-ray I have the i7 cpu on a EX58-UD5 gigabyte mainboard and a palit GTS250 1gb hdmi card without the amount of ram currently installed I would not be able to surf the net while running a blu-ray movie via the benq MP730 projector I am supporting I have also played games online while watching movies done bloging on yearbook and other things to answer your question the amount of ram you need depends on what you are using your computer for
on a personal note I am also running windows7 which I have found carries true dobly and excellent graphics in windows media although it don't play back blu-ray yet for that I use powerDVD I hope this helps you deciede more clearly with your own computer needs.

The more RAM the better

I am Mac user, so there maybe some differences. But I have always been told that conventional wisdom is to purchase the maximum amount or RAM at the time of your computer purchase. This will help to keep you computer relevant longer. I have 4G of RAM on my MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard. I would have bought it with 8G if it had been available at the time; unfortunately I bought a 2.93 Core2Duo right before they switched to the 2.8 model which will support 8G and mine will not. I have also found that upgrading to the 7200RPM hard drive is a cheap and very effective way to add speed to you system. Just for disclosure, I am a Mac user; but not a Windows hater or Mac fan boy. I think WIndows offer a great deal of value for the money.

...on both my primary Windows and Linux PCs. It's a little tight for WinXP but fine for Linux Mint. I have two other Linux PCs which have 512MB and run just fine.

I don't know b/c of KVM switch.I recently had one built for me.The newer box, I haven't got around to actually using.I try to update it, but it maybe missing something or other.Just keeping AV running and update all my programs on 2 boxes consumes a lot of energy,plus anxiety.I'm homebound, so if I don't have the computers.....
I don't thing AV is the thing I worry about most.XSS security holes,
I spend most of my time worrying about.
rama lama ding dong

This is an excerpt from a song fron the 50's however it is appropro' today. have an amd sempron processor 3200+ @ 1.8 Ghz with 3.43 gb of ram.
When I use the computer lately and use the task manager the cpu usage is at 100% for the longest time. Is this a shortage of ram issue or something else?
thanks,
Larry Hoffman
lost everything to my computer crashing
by proulxp - 11/19/09 9:37 AM In reply to: rama lama ding dong by larryhoffmanI have the acer 3200 sempron amd and it is a 2 gh processor but it only has 256 ram and I forgot that I would need to up that and ended up losing everything including all the pictures I had of my grandchildren and great grandchildren so I have learned my lesson that the minute when the computer starts telling you you are low in memory don't take chances to see how far it will go before it stops telling you and crashes just get more ram immediately. I am a senior so it is hard for me to afford to get more ram when I need to but it is cheaper to close the computer down until I can afford to. If your computer isn't telling you that you are low in memory you are safe but get more ram immediately if the computer tells you that you are low. I was lucky that the computer guy where I took my computer was able to find my stuff for me and he put in a lot more ram so I don't have a problem any more with it. That is all I can say about ram as I am just an old bag and never used a computer before I retired and am still learning. Hope this helps you though
