PC hardware forum: Poll: How much RAM does your computer have?

Using Win2k with P4 2.4 Ghz on my primary workstation desktop. Still don't want to have to buy a bunch of apps all over again to be compatible with newer XP, Vista, or Win 7. Got burned with Apple already not going to do it again with a PC too. I also run Win XP Pro on laptops on my home network with a Win2k Server (2 GB RAM 2.4 Ghz P4), older ThinkPads (T43's; 2.0 Ghz) most of which are maxed out at 2 GB System RAM

My system is an HP dc7800p with Intel Core2 Duo CPU E6850 3GHz processors and 8 GB of RAM. The OS is 64-bit Windows 7 Professional (upgraded from 64-bit Vista Professional). Sweeeeeeet!!

I have 4 PCs:
1) 2.5 GB on a Dell Dimension 2.8GHz P4 running Ubuntu 8.04 Linux (dual boot WinXP 10% of time)
2) 2 GB on a Dell Inspiron 530n 2.2GHz Dual Core E2200 running Ubuntu 8.10 Linux (MythTV theater system with smooth 1080 HD video)
3) 512 MB on a Eee PC 600MHz clocked Celeron (701) running Xandros or Ubuntu Linux
4) 128 MB on an old Chembook laptop 800Mz Celeron running Puppy Linux 4.12

2GB is more than enough even on a busy system with many programs running, if not using bloated (poorly written) software. Higher amounts are only needed for intensive tasks like image/video editing of large files.
512 MB is fine for routine office use
128 MB is limiting

Our computers:

Desktop #1: Intel Pentium 4 631 (3 GHz, 64-bit)
1.0 GB RAM
Running Windows XP Home Edition SP2 (32-bit version)

Desktop #2: Intel Pentium D 915 (2.8 GHz, dual core, 64-bit)
1.0 GB RAM
Running Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit version)

Laptop # 1: Intel Mobile Pentium III-M 1.2 GHz
1.0 GB RAM
Running Windows XP Home Edition SP2

Laptop # 2: AMD Athlon 64 3400+
2.0 GB RAM
Running Windows XP Home Edition SP2 (32-bit version)

32 bit Vista home premium, AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 4600+ 2.40ghz

I agree, Vista wasn't as bad as many people said, and after using Windows7 for about a week (intensively) it's not that much different.

If Vista didn't have such a bad rep. Windows 7 could easily have been Vista sp3.

Trust MS to make good of a bad situation; if Vista had been popular there probably would have been a free sp3 for Vista instead of a fully paid for "new" operating system!

Mi computer has 1 Gb, of ram. AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Slackware Linux OS and it is fast as a thunder.

I have a MacBook Pro running 2Gb RAM and a Dell Mini 9 also running 2Gb RAM - the Windows XP installation on the mini only needs 1 Gb RAM but upgrading to a new OS meant 2 Gb improves speed of performance. The MacBook requires more now I'm running memory-hungry apps like CS4 (not especially memory-hungry if the apps within the suite are run separately but can be a killer if running all together) and video-editing programs. No matter what system you're running, you need to know the bus speed. No point in putting 800MHz RAM in a system that only runs at 533 but if you put slower running RAM in a system that needs faster, the performance can be impaired.

I have 4Gb ram in my acer 4736G laptop with intel core2 duo processor 2.1 Ghz @ 800 fsb Mhz. Now i am running win 7 and still lack of satisfaction on the laptop performance. Ram alone is not the factor to a perfect system running. Is there any hyper ram for laptop?

I have a HP Entertainment Laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB Ram and 320 GB HDD.

I have 8GB of DDR2 RAM running in interleaved mode (4x2GB matching sticks) on a Windows 7 64bit Platform. I used to be running 3GB, and i've noticed a huge performance increase in heavy multitasking. I do a lot of 3D and video work, and with the extra memory I can have Maya, Vue 6, Illustrator CS4 and Premiere running without breaking a sweat. I can even boot up a game of Crysis or similar on top of those with no worries. Before the upgrade there was no chance.

i have 2GB on my dell xps 420 running vista home premium and a quad core cpu running at 2.40 Ghz

4GP(

I have 6 GB DDR3 and I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64.
