How much ram...

How much ram...

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...

Jafo. LiteSTEP is a godsend in that respect (well many respects actually), of course I'm a glutton for punishment for running win2k on my system.

Sylva_cg76, your welcome in my "poor folk corner" anytime

whoa! Jafo, you paid $105USD for 512MB? what type? I just picked up 512MB of PC133 (generic - nonbrand name stuff - at least I've never heard of it - but it works fine in my Dell) for $140CDN. That means that it actually was cheaper for me! Could this be true? Something cheaper in Canada than in the U.S.??? Wow...

I'll bet my 66mhz Linux machine will outrun any ghz running Windows... well, not quite, but almost... long live the penguin! (What am I doing on a Windows customization site? I’ve been pondering that for a while) I don’t think I’ve even seen more than 64 megs of ram at one time...

I've never recovered from paying $1,600 (US) for 32Mb a few years ago.
I recently built a whole system with 256Mb and a 17"monitor for a lot less...
