How much ram...
Thursday, June 21, 2001 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
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...

Even Win2000 behaves with 128M, although that's on my 800MHz beast.

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

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.

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...

Renato,
I feel silly now as I knew that...Possibly if I had posted that at some other time than after working about 16 hours...
