I've been strugglin with 256 mb ddr... just popped in a 512 mb ddr stick, 768 mb ddr, won't need any more for awhile.
For at least 3 months. I've been using 512 for awhile and I must say I'm pretty happy. There are still times I wish I had 1GB though... Just because.
256 DDR here and never have any problems for now ... most of the time i still have about 80-90 MB free ! not when i play games though the new machine i will buy very soon will get one 512 and a little bit later another one maybe (dual channel hehe)
Yea Alex, 256 was fine for awhile but I was starting to notice I was having 0 mb free... not good haha. I might add another 512 for my birthday in a couple months!
I know the feeling Nick! I used to have a lot of problems when I only had 256mb ram... But after I upgraded to 1GB of ram, I haven't had any annoying "windows is running out of memory" messages anymore
