640MB It's enough for this system because i've reached my personal point of diminishing returns with it (it's a low-end Dell laptop). When/if I ever have the money, I was looking into server MotherBoards spicifically for RAM capacity of 8+ GB

I've only had 2 gigs of ram .... so, for me it has been HD space .. that's what I always seem to need more of since I try to keep my last 3 or so projects (for exporting to cons).

A64 procs work better with 1 gig ram sticks as well, so I hear. Also if you don't have two identicle sticks of ram these days, your just crazy o.0

Sorry for the technical thread. ;O But I think it'll be useful. :roll:
a virus hit my computer just yesterday. So I had to delete everything from my computer.. a system restore. So now my computer is like it was when I first bought it.. and to think, yesterday was my computer's 1 year anniversery.
That wouldn't change the amount of RAM you have. :?

I've got 1 GB from OCZ, running at 2.5-3-3-6 (I believe it can do 2-3-3-6 when I'm not overclocking).

I have 2 gigs of ram, and almost a TB of harddrive space, a trig is not any unit of measure for hard drive space, trig = trigonomtery = cos, sin, tan, sec, csc, cot.

I think you mean a terabyte, lol

I only have 1gb. I could definately use 2, but 1 gets me by. I probably wont go for 2 until I build a totally new system though.
