My desktop has had 2 gb of ram for a bout 2 years now. I also recently upgraded the laptop to 2gb from 512 as well. Ram is the most important upgrade for a computer. I know some would save video card but in terms of performance difference ram should be upgraded before anything else is considered.
2 gigs woot for me. I am a gamer, so I need the ram. I can run photoshop, firefox, msn, aim, CSS with no probs, but my processor is good too.
4gb, Dell was having a special offer when I bought mine. I upgraded from 2gb to 4gb for about $250. I'm expecting this computer to last a while, so it might come in handy down the road. And plus it makes me feel special
ive just read in pcworld magazine that upgrading your ram.. 1gb, 2gb, 4gb doesnt have that much effect on windows vista. very minimal..
