ALright so i got a computer, and my dad wants to buy more ram, a gig more. here's the specs...


Pentium(r) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
2.99Ghz, 1.00 GB of RAM

so in the end he wants 2.00 GB of RAM

is this too much ram?

1 gig is enough unless you need more.

I must find the perfect spoon.

you can never really get too much ram, only problem is it's fucking expensive as hell. if he will buy you more ram go for it. is it a laptop or a desktop?

there's no such thing as too much ram. unless he plans on only using the computer for the internet and email. then he's just wasting his money. but 2 gigs is plenty, and will be plenty for a long time, unless him or you decide to become a professional music producer or video editor, and even then 2 gigs is plenty

I got a gig right now and it's plenty enough for using multiple adobe products, games and etc. Like Strode said it all depends what you will use it for.

Unless you run some crazy software, 1.0 is by far enough. I believe my home computer is now a year old and is running on 318MB ram...I didnt even know it was passed 600 yet.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.
