How Much Memory Do You Need?

The type of software applications you’re using has a direct correlation to how much memory you need on your system to run them effectively. Today’s recommended minimum for running most applications is 256MB and, if you are a Windows XP - 512MB / Vista 1GB and UP. Couple this with the fact that you may be running several programs at one time or are running software that is extremely graphics intensive and you may need much more!
