How much RAM do you have? (excluding VRAM)

[niv]

i haven't heard of anyone with more than 1 GB of ram.

[Giancarlo]

512MB... going to add another 512 soon.

[Owen]

So people with 128 MB of RAM aren't qualified to vote ;)

This computer(my dad's) has 512 MB of RAM. The computer I just got for my birthday has 128 MB of RAM.

Oh. Also, I have an old old old old OLDDDD computer with less than 8 MB of Ram I beleive. Heck, the hard drive isn't even 8 MB :). One of those OLD apples computers.

hmm.. I think my family's first computer had 4 meg of ram... I think it only had MS-DOS.. hehe

<edit> we could play PacMan, though... all we had to do was insert the 5 1/4" disk, into the drive, first. ;) oh, and then we got a 5 1/4" drive AND a 3 1/2" drive.. we really really moving, then. (it might be 5 1/2" and 3 1/4".. I forget)

[Gayowulf]

128Mb, upgraded from64.
our first computer had 512k, or maybe 256k. i could type faster than it could handle.

yes, you are right, 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" disk drives

[LastActionHero]

I have 96 MB RAM.

[Mandrake]

My computer, that I only bought last December, only came with 32MB! Barely enough to run it! :( I upgraded it to 96MB and now it moves pretty good although I may add more eventually.

[niv]

add 2 256 MB sticks :D

[Coolin]

Who voted for 1024MB+?

I want that :mad:

[niv]

who here has less than 8192 KB ram? :p

[Coolin]

I'm not sure if my old computer has any ram...

[niv]

my portable TRS-80 had 120 KB storage space and no RAM.

[Homeygwiz]

I only have 32 megs of RAM... I definitely need to upgrade..

[Botero]

I have 64MB....
Does it really make any difference adding more?
When I upgraded from 32 I didn't notice any big improvements...
I wonder why would anyone need 512MB (!!)?

[cowax]

I have 32mb, and I've had and used this computer very hard for the last 3 and a ½ years. We are insaparable..... or atleast untill I can fork over enough for a new computer ;)

[Archbob]

512 SDRAM here on 1ghz t-bird.

[polestar]

I used to have 40Mb, now I have 128Mb.

What really gets my goat is that say I have Word, IE and Netscape open, and I press alt-tab, the hard-disk still chugs away for a couple seconds before changing over.

I thought when I got a new pc that would stop.

But say I open a word document, then use the pc for ages - PSP, corel draw, Netscape and so on. If I then open word up again - it's there in the blink of an eye - no HD activity!

What's going on? Can I correct this or is it normal? Whatever, you gotta admit it's weird. Huh?

[meow]

Boy, Homeygwiz and cowax, you guys really suck. How can you even consider running a computer with that little RAM? Irresponsible is what it is. I've got 40MB and I feel that is the least you should have. :cool:
:p

[niv]

i feel that the least amount of RAM you should have is 128 MB SDRAM

[meow]

Who cares about your feelings? :cool:Go and eat mistletoe.:p

[Homeygwiz]

32 mgs does suck but, I cannot afford to buy more memory right now.

Oh Well. :rolleyes: At least 32 mgs meets the requirements of all Software application installs.

I haven't had a problem installing anything yet. Just the PC is slower than if I had 128 mgs or higher.

If it works don't fix it.;)

[meow]

You should try 40. It's so cool. I can run both my browser and my email client at the same time.:cool:

[niv]

i run 30 browsers and explorer windows at once :p

[meow]

Geez, you have all versions from IE1.0 and NN1.0? You're worse than http://browsers.evolt.org/. I'm deeply impressed.:p

[niv]

are you smoking something meow? :rolleyes:

[meow]

My puter is smoking fast since I use the OPTIMAL amount of RAM. :cool:

[niv]

i see. so 40 MB is the max amount of RAM you have? what are you using? 30-pin? :D

[meow]

Want me to open it and count?:p

[niv]

have fun.
