What is considered a "good" amount of RAM for an everyday use laptop?
Answers:
I'd say 512MB is the minimum amount of RAM a person should have. I'd recommend 1GB of RAM
With 512MB, you should be able to run your email app, word processor, Internet, and music programs while only using physical memory (which is fast) and thus not using virtual memory (which is slow).
I recommend 1GB of RAM so that your system doesn't slow down when you run additional programs (video, virus scan, etc.).
To get the correct RAM for your machine at the cheapest price, visit http://www.DealRam.com. If you must buy RAM from a local store, note that it will cost up to 2 times as much. RAM is usually on sale every week so check your Sunday news paper for the best prices.
who cares what is good. what matters is what your laptop is capable of supporting. what is your pc used for? i have 1gb in my macbook pro - and runs like a charm.
too many variables to answer this question
These days it's 1 GB to run Windows Vista.
It depends on what you're using it for and your operating system.
It depends on what you use the computer for and what operating system you are running.
Here is a general minimum suggestion based on operating systems:
Win 98SE/ME/2000pro: 128Mb
Windows XP: 512mb
Vista: 1gig
Keep in mind these are MINIMUMS based on my experience with these particular OS's. Microsoft has a completely different minimum suggestion, usually lower than what I quoted.
Default=512MB
Good=1GB
Better=2GB
In my opinion.
