[motormafia]

Pse indicate the capacity of RAM used in your PC, this is to get an idea of the statistical distribution of various sizes today. Thanks

RAM or hard disk capacity? Why got this crazy number 64 gig?

I don't use RAMSETH for my PC. I don't hate him. Just find it disgusting with the association.

Thanks pse fill survey form

I am expecting to see a curve 2 ends low hits center high hit.

Wondering center is 4 or 8 GB

RAM lah. Have 64GB if you purchase workstation board, got 8 slot got 16 slot, multiple CPU sockets, 2 sockets or 4 also have. Then there are monsters like mentorgraphics or SGI with 16 CPUs and TBs of RAM but those are out of the norm.




HDD will soon stop going by GBs, min 1TB by end of this year I guess.

I believe cloud computing will stop or slow down this trend.

Win7 Ultimate x64 support up to 192GB ram...for normal gaming, simple off application, surfing...8gb is more den goot enuff...

There is another big factor adding in these days, flash / SSD.

They are made on-board can be 64GB SSD build-in like the tablets. Soon 128 on-board. Need not buy HDD.

HDD is slow comparatively and wasteful of power to spin motor and oscillate RW head. But damn cheap these days.

The OS always put giant upper limits.

Linux 64 bit (x86_64) made limits of RAM at 64TB.

Price hor.... must see which type / speed.

There are DDR / DDR2 / DDR3

Each got different speeds e.g. DDR333 533 1666 got higher

And got to see DIMM (PC) or SODIMM (laptop) the laptops are slightly higher price.

Average DD3 is per GB S$15 or so S$53 for 4BG piece

Expensive ones are matched set / pairs with heat sinks

RAM these days got lifetime warranty damn reliable

Old laptop use expensive RAMs. DDR1 or SDRAM. Slow and expensive.

I'm still using Win XP. I think the maximum RAM it supports is 4 GB

that's expensive. 1G rams new laptops $20 @ SLS.
next time you should consider search HWZ and VRForum marketplace, think old laptop rams are around $10 there.

A bit less than that but you will install 4GB and only a bit more than 3.5 less than 3.6GB will show up.

Funny stupid MS limitations.

Windows is also famous for memory leakage. You run out of memory because memory is not properly released ?

I usually use an Apple iBook but my iBook is getting kinda old & pokey:(
