Endless Paradigm

i have 1gb of RAM and i think it's enough for me. since I'm a casual gamer, sometimes encoding videos.

i bought 3 notebooks today. they offered free upgrade from 1GB to 3GB ram. it had vista business. i told them to keep their ram for a discount and put XP on it. i am happy.


had i not chosen XP then i would have had to get the ram.

and whatever you do on vista



yes.

it needs more ram.

1.24 GB of RAM and that's plenty.

The most intensive program I run is Photoshop so... yea.

my macbook has 2gb and i definitely use it all. i could use 16gb if it were mainstream enough... as soon as i even start to run my virtual windows machine the ram is full, and it uses at least a few 100 megs of swap space most/all of the time...

i bet it would be faster with 4 gigs, which seems to be the mainstream now. i can get a $5-600 laptop with 4gb.

my laptops a macbok also its main OS is XP and only uses about 230mb ram at startup

don't vmware just  dualboot

I have 3 gigs, but you can always use more ram

why would i want to dualboot, that's just not smart. i only reboot for games. for all the other stuff vmware is perfect, unless it's something intensive but i can't think of any that are strictly windows-only.

plus i like to use them together with Unity. what's easier, switching from firefox on mac to MSN on windows with 1 click, or rebooting every time you want to switch from window to window?
