Now we are stepping into the world of RAM capacities of 12GB upwards! :P Look how much things have moved on since 2006! Now we are stepping into the world of RAM capacities of 12GB upwards! :P

It also gives a MUCH bigger cache and applications will start and run faster. On average with firefox, email, and a couple Skype windows open use about 51% RAM, giving it a whole 1gb to cash every thing which is really nice. I used to have 1gb, so i know what it's like, and i like 2 much better. I aggree, having the 2gb RAM on Vista makes your system much more responsive and faster overall.

The laptop has 2GB of DDR2-667 and the desktop has 1GB of DDR-400. The laptop is MUCH smoother due to the RAM since the CPU and disk access performances are nearly on par. 2GB of RAM is a must if you are planning on having a flawless Vista experience. It's OK on 1GB but you will be disappointed if you are using 1GB on XP currently. All the extra goodies just kinda eat up the RAM. I use a copy of Vista Ultimate RTM on both my desktop and laptop.

They're a lot cheaper. The more RAM the better :) @alam: You should look for third party MacBook RAM. They’re a lot cheaper. The more RAM the better :)

But now 512 is not no where close to meeting my requirements, esp during the heavy work weeks when i have multiple data intensive applications running. Thanks for the blog.
