How much ram or memory for Microsoft Windows Vista ?

There's just not enough RAM in most computers. Everything is working fine, then you add photo-editing software, surf to a graphically intense Web site, install a game, and suddenly your computer can't keep up.

1GB to 3GB would be considered basic computing and tasks would include email, surfing the web, basic office programs, accounting and personal finance.

2GB to 4GB would be considered mainstream computing with some focus on enty level programs that are used to create such as PowerPoint, Excel and other accounting software.

2GB to 8GB now you're a real computer user. Games, music, videos, both watching and creating. Large emphasis on photo creation and editing software. If you have a laptop or notebook and want to max it out at 4GB and get the most out of your rig then go for it. *must have 64-bit Microsoft Windows Vista to achieve 4GB.

4GB and up. Geek! Ok you have one eye on the computer all the times. You are not playing games, you are a gamer. You are in the top percent of all nitches of having your computer do work, photo editing, video creation, you are doing your own hosting, CAD, sound engineer or more. Maybe you have two monitors hooked up to that bad boy as well.

How much ram or memory for Mac OSX ?

Look, by now if you are getting a new Mac or run Mac OSX, that means go as big as you can. The development and content of this site was done and is maintained by a MacBook Pro 17-inch running with 2GB of memory. With 10-20 programs and browsers open at once, the additional 2GB that has been on the desk for months and NOT YET INSTALLED, will be greatly appreciated.

*Running Paralles uses a lot of RAM and slows computing, so adding additional memory is a must.

Microsoft Windows XP Pro or Home? Windows 2000 or 98? Get at much memory as you can.

Determine how much memory you have and how much you need.

Before you buy any memory online, you need to know how much RAM you have. On a Windows based computer system go to the Start menu and click Settings, and then click Control Panel. Click System and then select the General tab. At the bottom of the window you should see the amount of RAM that is in your computer system.
