1280MB(256M+1GB) DDR2 533MHz(PC4200) on ThinkPad R52 1860-A33.

I use my laptop primarily for programming/development work and net surfing.
Commonly used applications are: Visual Studio 2005, NetBeans, Emacs, Vim,
Cygwin with X, Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, Opera, Media Player Classic
and Oracle with JDeveloper.

Not more than 3-4 applications at one time, exclusing heavy background
services like Oracle etc.

 

I'd say 1GB is enough for most. I only got 1.5GB because the 1GB stick was only ten dollars more. Me I run mostly Foxfire, Quintessential Pleyer, Nero, a little Photoshop and Office. Not really a power user.

I have a gig but usually only use half or a bit more than half.

 

1GB.

More than enough for the normal use. FF, office, and some minor utilities.

When I am downloading torrents, I set the buffer to use most of my Ram to minimize disk access, which eats up everything. Also Matlab, due it being so fabulously well done, manages to take up 0.5GB alone and maybe more if I had any left.

 

1GB which is more than I ever need. I usually peak around 700MB.

Winamp, Firefox, Soulseek, MS Office, Media Player Classic, occassional games

5 tabs on Firefox, and maybe 5 other apps.

 

512MB for me, but I am contemplating the upgrade to 1GB+

 

I got 2 sticks of 512MB to equal 1GB, but of course the Intel GMA 900 will take up to 128MB of it as needed. I am think about going to 2x1GB sticks each...but I am planning for a Z71V

What type of applications do you run?
-Office, Acrobat, Corel Photo-Paint, Visual Studion 2005

How many applications do you typically run at one time?
-6-7

 

I'm running 1GB as of tonight. Originally, I only had 512 MB. But my local store had 512 sticks on sale. So, I picked up a stick.

I usually run Office, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and some sort of media player. MSN Live Messenger is usually in the background.

 

2 GB in my N5010, and I routinely use around1.9-1.8 GB, particularly when modeling. I often run a model and work on some office docs, have email, music (amarok), and a few firefox tabs all at once. The modeling eats up most of it, and I have to go to the swap file pretty often, even in Linux. Then I know it's time to close some windows or simplify the model

 

1 GB.

Microsoft Office
Photoshop
Flash MX
World of Warcraft

 

1 GB on my Dell Inspiron 1150 and thats plenty for my needs.

I ran many multimedia applications and office xp, such as Adobe Audition, Camtasia Studio, Swish Video, etc.

Usually I ran about 5 applications at the same time.

512MB, with 2GB on the way.

basic office stuff, some games, some video/photo work, sw development, plus custom built highly quantitative apps with some large databases. More memory would be better, but for that I have to go to the desktop.

running fire fox internet explorer, play music and movies, microsoft office...compress/uncompress files for backup...record dvds...transfer firewire external hard drive..

4-10 windows open

 

I use 2 gigs more the better right.

I've got 768mb; going for 1.5gb as soon as the 1gb DDR400 returns on stock in the local store.

 

I have 512mb of RAM. But, I've heard that increasing RAM doesnt really increase processor speed, and I'm doing fine for now (I don't use that many apps at a time, maybe 3 or 4 at most) so I don't plan on buying more memory anytime soon. (Maybe a bigger HD, though).
PMZ

 

512mb. I want to upgrade, but don't have the $ to do it.

I run mostly Matlab, WinEdt (LaTeX document editor), TheBat (email client), Opera (web Browser), WinAmp. I almost always have them all open and occasionally use a few other statistics & graphing packages, Foxit (pdf viewer) and MS Office apps.

Mostly word, AIM/AOL, Itune, Windows Media Play (For steaming Mr.Beck), Photoshop, Illustrator, Nero, AntiVir, Opera browser, Sims2 on occation.

Probaby around 6-7

Most importantly I have 2gigs for my inferiority complex. xD!

 

265MB, and i run anywere to 4 to 8 applications at once (with a little lag) surprisingly on a celeron.

run internet explorer (multiple windows), ms office, norton antivirus, msn messanger, philips device manager, windows media player, ms defender

at the time of writing this, in running internet, msn messanger, wmp, norton, and wondows defender.

when i play the halo trial, i can only run small things like internet and messanger while playing, otherwise there is LOTS of lag....

 

256?! Here is some pity ram *hands you old 256mb stick* lol

1 gig on this desktop I'm using, but 2 gigs 677 mhz on the XPS m1210 I am ordering hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

 

I have 1GB.

I usually run Firefox and stuff like that, but I have done a lot of gaming in the week since I bought this computer. I plan to upgrade to 2 gigs. I usually only run one thing at a time, but occasionally more.

 

As of half an hour ago , I have 2GB of ram

The laptop runs noticibly faster too.

 

I have 1 GB, and I wouldn't mind doubling that in the future if there really is a significant perfomance gain. After all, speed is determined by various factors, and so something like a "slower" 5400 RM hard drive, a single core processor, or GMA graphics could mean that you can't make full use of the 2 GB.

I run all kinds of applications from video editing through photoshop through TOCA 3. And honestly, I'm happy

 

1Gb I would like more but atm. I can handle. Any lappy with less than 1GB will not do good for gaming purposes

I use Office, Magix Movie Edit pro 10, Games (Guild Wars, Half-Life 2)

Depends on what an apps is for You. In my opinion an app is something I installed besides what windows installs and uses. And that will be:

Zonaalarm, AVG, RM, Messenger, and either a game or something else such as office/IE/Outlook

 

2GB, not taking any chances this time. I suffered with 512 for the longest time but no more!

 

I have 1GB, use Internet Explorer and use about 2-3 applications at one time. Not bad for a laptp that cost £599! (about $800)

 

2gb here and loving every byte of it
