How much RAM do you have in your laptop II

Everything loads up much quicker and the boot time is just over 20 seconds with the stock 7200RPM HDD that's installed. So yeah, you can notice a difference but not really significant when doing work on your laptop as it does end up on my processor.

 

Every one of my machines has 4gb.

 

Which really is enough for most things nowadays.

 

unless your working on ppro or after effects. then youll want as much ram as possible

 

I just upgraded to 8 GB of RAM. Dont know if im beating a dead horse, but I think that I shouldnt post a new thread for it

 

Yeah mite be a good idea to start a new one, over 1 year since this one was started, be interesting to see if the percentages have changed

 

8 GB, I use Photoshop frequently along with Sony Vegas Pro 9, and After Effects CS5, they all use excessive amounts of RAM, especially the last 2, I edit 1080p videos and at times when doing RAM renders, I max out to 7.9 and I start lagging like hell, as hard drive is being used as RAM.. might need more XD

 

Anyone think it's time for a new thread? This one was started in early 2009 and I know a lot of us have purchased new laptops since then . . .

 

I would love to see a new/current poll - especially if the poll/posts included what apps were used, what the maximum RAM the NB supports and the O/S used. Especially more granularity on the 'above 8GB RAM' option.

With some current NB's accepting over 24GB RAM, I think this one is done.

Waiting for a new poll - Thanks!

 

same here. i upgraded myself to 8gb. we need a new thread

 

How about starting a new thread and time limiting the poll to 6 months or so. At the end of this time period, start a new thread and so on. Each new thread would link back to the previous threads and so it would be possible to compare current numbers with the past.

 

Good suggestions -- new thread is here:
