How much ram...

from WinCustomize Forums
How much ram do you guys get away with/need to get these graphics off the ground?
I just added 2 x 256 meg chips to my existing 2 x 128 meg...and things are looking good....768 meg, and to think I started with a Pentium 100 with 8 meg and PSP 3....
It's the scanning of pics which really seems to test your capacity....manipulating 150 meg files...

There are easier ways to Kill your swap file I'm running 256 and haven't hit the swap file in a long time.

I've got 128mb, but I only have a 233mhz PII.
Drives me mad sometimes, but I can't afford to upgrade just yet. sob!

You guys are depressing me. Try 64 megs on a AMD K6 266.
And my graphics look it too

My RAM is bigger than yours!

Most of the skins I've made in the Dark Aeons that lie behind us, where done on a p75 with a measly 32M RAM. Nowadays it's got 128M, but if you set your caching right (ie: use CacheMan), you'll only swap at start up or when starting or closing a heavy app.

AT home, I'm still using a P75 (running at 100Mhz) with 64Meg Ram..... yawn....

Work is P3 450, but still only 64Meg RAM!

Ah, but WinBloated 2000 really isn't happy much below 256, although I have a p166 with 64 meg chugging along fairly OK...
I upgraded cos 512 meg cost me AUD $230, which would be about US$55...

Dang....US $105....

Ahhh.. the days of Vic-20's and tape drives (just use you audio tape, eh?) I loved my Vic-20

I think both my home and work have 256 Meg.
Of course, it really doesn't matter since I don't produce anything
