How much ram...

June 21, 2001 6:53:01 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
How much ram do you guys get away with/need to get these graphics off the ground?
I just added 2 x 256 meg chips to my existing 2 x 128 meg...and things are looking good....768 meg, and to think I started with a Pentium 100 with 8 meg and PSP 3....
It's the scanning of pics which really seems to test your capacity....manipulating 150 meg files...

There are easier ways to Kill your swap file I'm running 256 and haven't hit the swap file in a long time.

If you allready haven't...

Drives me mad sometimes, but I can't afford to upgrade just yet. sob!

My RAM is bigger than yours!

Most of the skins I've made in the Dark Aeons that lie behind us, where done on a p75 with a measly 32M RAM. Nowadays it's got 128M, but if you set your caching right (ie: use CacheMan), you'll only swap at start up or when starting or closing a heavy app.

Ah, but WinBloated 2000 really isn't happy much below 256, although I have a p166 with 64 meg chugging along fairly OK...
I upgraded cos 512 meg cost me AUD $230, which would be about US$55...

Even Win2000 behaves with 128M, although that's on my 800MHz beast.

Ahhh.. the days of Vic-20's and tape drives (just use you audio tape, eh?) I loved my Vic-20

I think both my home and work have 256 Meg.
Of course, it really doesn't matter since I don't produce anything
