I have 1GB, and I don't think I really have enough.
Considering some people have 4GB of RAM, do you use all your RAM?

RE: Who has more RAM than they think they need?
My main notebook has 2GB and I do fully use it.
Specially things like firefox which with the right plugins uses alone
over 100MB memory.

My PC has 4GB with WinXP64 and I use about 40% for system + apps
The rest I use for ramdisc(s) which have insane read/write speeds.

2Gb i have now ,and im using XP ,and i can tell you it works sometimes with 1.3GB used phisical ram.
But i use my pc mainly to encode files ,and yeah more ram is better. that's my opinion.

RE: Who has more RAM than they think they need?
1.5GB.

I find I don't really need any more than that.

Playing some games takes a bit of RAM, compressing stuff takes RAM (7zip, crank up settings), encoding stuff takes RAM. Otherwise I never use to close to that much RAM.

I find that I really need a faster CPU though.
