Speaking of storage...
Right now I have... 820 GB attached to my desktop.
I just put 4 Gb. of Ram in my PC. First time in years I've seen RAM make a difference in anything. I mean I saw no difference when I went from 256 to 512, and none when I went to 1 Gb. Now I can see a difference.
Storage, I have 2 120Gb externals and an 80Gb internal and a 40Gb internal. And, maybe 5 or 6 other hard drives in a box somewhere. Even got an old 2 Gb that still works. :)
eh? Windows don't use ram correctly to begin with... 80% of the performance gain i've experienced happens up-to 1gb. Anything over a gig comes in useful for high ram apps, but not just os stuff. At the 2gb point in a pc, i think the bottle neck is really the hard disk. So, you doing video editing or somethin crazy?
OSX eats up ram like crazy. I constantly am using around 1.4gb of ram.
*i've had soo many 80gig (like 6) hard drives get destroyed by windows, sigh. I have over a terabyte of distributed network storage
Yes, and using DW 8 and F 8. DW has about a dozen very memory intensive extensions installed. It was crashing a couple times a day till I added this RAM, now I can have everything open and run BIONIC in the background. :)Quote:

2gb on the PC
1.5gb on the Mac
1gb on my home pc
512 on my work pc :(
1 gig of ram on my vaio, less the 200 mgs on my super old mac.
8gb on the PC : for crunching fluid dynamics equations and analysis based stuff.
1gb on the laptop: for playing ;)
8 f***ing gig!!??!?!? that takes the piss, man, how does the speed compare to like 1-2 gig?Quote:

Pretty fast: but that could also be due to dual xeons and the graphics card it has aswell: Never used it for art based stuff though, the comp is only used for crunching huge amount of iterations for engineering based softwares.Quote:

the laptop mind is a workstation kind and cains through most artbased stuff I have to though at it without a problem
cheers, im new to flash and will inevitably ask a lot of questions on how to do things, so be kind ;)Quote:

I didn't think there were any 8gig 64-bit PC Mombos, guess they had to eventually come out. I can put 8gigs in my powermac, but thats just way too much.
you have to have a workstation motherboard really. Most workstation motherboards can take up to 8 gig plus dual processors.
jesus what the hell do all of you guys do with all that RAM? I have 512 at home and 512 on laptop and about 1 gig on work comp.
if you are all secretly gamers and pirates then consider this my last thread here.
So what? I have a terabyte of HD space.Quote:
And yes 550 gigs is more than half a terabyte!
I just wanted to be able to have 3 or 4 programs open at once without a lockup.Quote:

I have two Photoshop files that are 1gb inactive, right at 2gb of memory needed when active.Quote:

I was doing pretty good with 1 gig, but I got a new program that uses 7 or 8 new DW extensions, over the 4 I already had installed. They seem to be real memory hogs. So it was pretty much a requirement.
Friend of mine has been using AutoCADD for years, and he had 4 gig back in 2001.
