Upgrading from 1-2 gigs of ram
Getting another monitor next week (too cold to go outside this week in toronto) and thought I might upgrade my comp to 2 gigs of ram.
Im running xp and mostly work with photoshop, dreamweaver and have a few other little things open. The computer will be running dual monitors. Will the gig of ram help at all? |

You'll only notice a difference if you usually push your system farther than what your ram will allow .
one 3d program I use shows you the amount of ram you are using , and it gets pretty wild sometimes . So I upgraded and its buch better in THAT program . only cause it was using more ram than I had .

Depends on what kind of RAM you're using.

i never see XP / windows 2000 using all the ram, I mean I have a gig of ram it uses 400mb and it demands like a 1 gig swap file, shouldn't it be using the RAM instead of swapping?!

i only have 768 of SD ram, it was obviuosly a huge increase for me because i upgraded from 256. some stuff does run better, but if you are just running one regular (ie not demanding) program there is no difference

seems more cpu is needed more than ram once you are over 1 gig of memory
