[niv]

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

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)

I have 96 MB RAM.

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

 

[Coolin]

Who voted for 1024MB+?

I want that

 

[niv]

who here has less than 8192 KB ram?

 

[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..

HGW - 'Need more speed'

 

[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?
