me@home Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Well I have 2 x 1024MB Ram in my both OSX X86 boxes and was quite satisfied, now I notice after doing a bit more with OSX (iPhoto + Camino + Word, Excel) I have less than 200MB free ram. OK, I know Tiger uses virtual Ram and real Ram "better" than any Windows but after a private message about how much Ram is best, I begin to think to put in my PC another 1-2 GB. Does any of you out there have more than 2GB ? Does any one know about the Windows 32bit memory hole with more than 3GB Ram and is this an Apple matter too ?

errandwolfe Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Running 3 Gb on my desktop and 1.25 Gb in my lappy. Found 3 Gb to be the sweet spot for myself. Can run all my normal apps (Firefox, Azareus, iTunes, Adium), plus since I have a dual screen setup I have WinXP running full time on my secondary display with Parallels 3150, and on top of that can play World of Warcraft. Just no way I could even think of doing all that in Windows. God bless OS X.

TheND Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Only got 512 in my desktop... Everything runs fine, but still planning on upgrading when the time (and $$) is right. My lappy's got a Gig, only got Vista now, but will have OS X dualbooting in a few days.
