Jo mere krævene spil og programmer bliver , jo oftere kommer spørgsmålet "hvor mange ram skal min computer have" , og så kommer der 20 forskellige svar , men nu tester Tom's Hardware hvor mange ram du egentlig behøves til dit forbrug.
"Of course, the more RAM you have, the better off you are - but how much memory do you really need?
Multiple software threads that run all at once every time you boot up your PC continue to proliferate. Multitasking software includes what we really need, such as anti-virus tools or firewall software, or useful programs to which we have all grown accustomed that permanently run in the background until they need our direct attention. Most users, for example, have their email client and browser permanently available. Instant messengers such as AIM, ICQ MSN or YIM increasingly pop up on a growing number of desktops, while a media player plays music while you work. And all of these consume some memory, leaving fewer resources available for applications that you want to launch." Link: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/12/13/how_much_ram_do_you_really_need/
