Re: RAM requirements

Unless you run VPC (Virtual PCs) or work with large multimedia files
then taking the memory count about 1.0 Gigabytes isn't necessary.

More is better, but only in light of your usage patterns. I would open
your normal workload and then look at TaskMgr, Performance (TAB)
and see what the PF meter shows. Usually, it hovers around 250 Meg
even with a few applications open & running.

That being said if you can get the extra and afford it, then it won't make
the machine any faster but may provide some future benefits.
