    How much RAM is enough for a PC?

    Do you think 1gig of ram is enough for working with dreamweaver, photoshop, and other programs. Or do you think 2gigs of ram is a must?

        I would think 1gig would be enough, but if you have the money might as well go up to 2gig so you feel special!

                    1 gig is enough for the programs. But if you're going to have all 3 of those programs open at once, while you're editing some massive file in Photoshop, you're going to want 2.

                    If you aren't afraid of failing, you're not pushing hard enough.

                          If you have 1 gig, and never use all of it, then getting another gig will just be a waste as it won't be used anyway.

                          it's supply and demand.... get what you need.

                          Having an extra gig of ram that just sits there definitely won't speed up you pc at all.

                            Really depends on what you do with photoshop, if you are shooting content and working with huge raw format files, you can't get enough, 2 gig would be a bare minimum...if you just work with jpgs, 1 gig is way enough.

                                  512 is enough. Get more if you want to play cool games.

                                        I'm quite happy with 1gb. 1.5/2gb if you wanna have em all open at the same time should do you nicely.

                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                            I have 1 gig in one of the machines here. It handles things quite nicely.
                                            Trust Me...

                                            They wouldn't be in my sig if they didn't convert well!

                                              512 is enough. but 1 gig will give you more power & room to add programs and shit to your pc and still run perfectly.

                                              so, i would go 512 or if you have extra money then upgrade to a 1 gig, then do that.

                                                As was stated above, more than a gig if you are doing digital photography work in Photoshop. At the price of RAM, 1gb is fine. You might not need it all the time, but its going to help. You may consider something else like a HT processor if you are running PS and dreamweaver at the same time.

                                                  512 here, never though I could need more.

                                                          Nowadays, atleast 1gig. Anything more is a bonus.

                                                              The more memory you have when working with graphics, the better especially if you have more that one program running. Photoshop, imageready, your html editor, media player, etc. Have all these running at once and you'll be glad you have loads of memory.

                                                              Anything you can do to prevent paging out to your swap file will make thing run quicker and smoother.

                                                                On average I have 15 apllications open. Dreamweaver, Photoshop, ImageReady, ACDSee, Outlook, Putty, Excel, Explorer, Firefox, ICQ, etc. I use around 700-800MB and I don't have really big photo's open in Photoshop. I would say, get at least 1GB.
