How much RAM is enough for a PC? - GoFuckYourself.com

NinjaSteve · 10-01-2004, 08:43 AM

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?

DarkJedi · 10-01-2004, 08:45 AM

if you got the money, get 2G.

Juicy D. Links · 10-01-2004, 08:45 AM

4 gigs

Sosa · 10-01-2004, 08:46 AM

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

strobi · 10-01-2004, 08:47 AM

1gb is enough

Pleasurepays · 10-01-2004, 08:54 AM

I know this because i studied it in school. The correct answer is 42.

depends on the computer.

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 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.

StarkReality · 10-01-2004, 09:08 AM

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.

Not with windows....

2gb is plenty and I don't have any less in any computer I own

loverboy · 10-01-2004, 10:26 AM

1 GB is way too much already.. i currently have 512 and so far no issues with performance for sometime now even with miltiple applications open

Project-Shadow · 10-01-2004, 10:28 AM

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

dubious media · 10-01-2004, 10:32 AM

"640k should be enough for anyone"

Kel · 10-01-2004, 10:33 AM

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

Babagirls · 10-01-2004, 10:34 AM

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.

warlock5 · 10-01-2004, 10:35 AM

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.

polish_aristocrat · 10-01-2004, 10:37 AM

512 here, never though I could need more.

johndoebob · 10-01-2004, 10:37 AM

512-1GB DDR RAM

Nylz · 10-01-2004, 10:40 AM

32mb sdram, should be enough

Fletch XXX · 10-01-2004, 10:42 AM

2 gigs

Vitasoy · 10-01-2004, 11:02 AM

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

lb_vee · 10-01-2004, 11:07 AM

1 Gig, but make sure you dont get 4x256 with 4 memory slots, get a single 1gig or 2x512

Bigjohn · 10-01-2004, 11:09 AM

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.

Fabuleux · 10-01-2004, 11:13 AM

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.

smack · 10-01-2004, 11:14 AM

as much as you can fit on your motherboard. i have a gig of ram in a 64bit AMD machine right now and it blisters. but i have room for 3 gig, and real soon i'm gonna take advantage of that.

Intrigue · 10-01-2004, 11:47 AM

1 gig seems adequate for everything i do (no video editing or the like tho, only simple shit in photoshop) it'll chunk occassionally if i'm really workin it, so soon i'm gonna get some dual channeled 1gb dimms so i have a total of 2gb of dual channelled ddr

Elli · 10-01-2004, 11:50 AM

512MB is ok for what I do, but I don't do heavy video editing, and my PC is buggered anyway. I need to reboot every few hours if I'm doing mass photoshop processing just to clear the scratch disks. *sigh*

I think that's what it's called, anyway.

Goose · 10-01-2004, 11:53 AM

1 gb is more than enough, believe me!

ToolGuy · 10-01-2004, 12:21 PM

Well since he's a friend of mine I would say 1 pic is more then enough for me, however we have hundreds more of these if you need to rub one out
