Woah, I'm running 37 processes, including mirc, msn, dvd shrink (active), maxthon, encarta dictionary, windows explorer, windows media player classic, FTP server, PGP, zone alarm, etc.

Still 590mb ram free out of total of 1 gig. :cheesygri

big difference then when I was using 512 mb ddr :)

LOL, I just wanna upgrade my 2 gig to 4 gig, but 1 gb stick
is too expensive so far. RAM will never be too much for me coz I'm running a 1 gig RAM drive :D

Games take a crapload. World of Warcraft ate up 290 megs when I checked TaskMan.

rams is cheap now, 512 samung for $80, or $50 at TD with shady rebates.

I use autocad at work, and it only eats up about 50 mb of ram.

I've got 1gb of ram but I would like to get more. I could use it when running apps like Combustion 3.

Is that all? Even my laptop has a minimum of 2GB.

I've got a server coming in a few days.... 2GB

Too much RAM is kinda like a car with too much performance. It just doesn't happen.

yeah, i really wish i had 2 gb right now also. but i won't bother until the memory controller on the new a64s can handle 4 x 512 @ 1t.

although i must say i've seen "grabit" as high as 790 MB when loading up a binary group :(

My computer grinds to a halt even with 2 gigs of ram. I guess having over 20 photoshop images going does that :lol: More likely it is my pitiful 2.8 ghz processor
