How much memory is 2gb?

How much memory should I get for my notebook 2GB or 4GB?

  • How much memory should I get for my notebook 2GB or 4GB? Acer Aspire 4520: AMD Turion TK-55 1.8Ghz Dual Core 120GB 5400RPM Hard drive 1GB Dual Channel DDR2-667 7000M Nvidia Video card (reserves 380mb of system Memory) 14.1 Widescreen LCD Windows Vista Home Premium

  • Answer:

    I highly suggest only 2 GB. Anything beyond that doesnt really make much of a difference. Knowing Windows, it never really takes full advantage of its resources. Even with many background apps running, 2GB is all you need. Besides, computers evolve very fast, and when a faster processor comes out plus another resource hog of an operating system, it'll be the one that will take advantage of the 4GB. If you get 4GB now, when that time arrives, your 4GB configuration with 1.8 Gighz dual core configuration will be outdated, and you'd wish you didnt spend the extra money on extra RAM that you didnt really need, and actually didnt use at all.

2GB is fine unless you have extra money for the 4GB but your video card is using a portion of your system memory, its up to you then.

taking the 4GB memory is better and faster.

2 is minimum, 4 is much better.

2 Gig is plenty, especially for a notebook. Vista may be a memory hog, but as long as you aren't doing too much with this computer other than light tasking(internet, word processing, pics, etc), than 2 Gig should be enough.

Any computer running Windows Blista should have no less than 2GB.

Get as much as you can afford. Although it may not recognize 4GB.

ok, first of all, 2gb is really all you need. the 4gig is not supported on most, if any laptops. another thing is, you won't see performance difference in many things if you go anywhere past 2 gigs.

it depends on what you use it for. If this computer is for your job or career, and it involves designing , or using photoshop and many programs at once, get the 4 gb. If you are just a normal person, or video gamer, or this is for word processing etc get 2 gigs. ive got 3 gigs of ram and mine is just a home computer, but it works great, no problems, and is way more than i need. if you give more detail about how you use the computer i can give you an even more accurate answer.
