How Much Memory Do I Need? In short - the more the merrier. Windows 98 will load at 32mb but you will need 64mb or more for optimum performance. There is a 42% overall improvement in the performance of Windows 98 when upgraded from 32 to 96mb. Today’s high-powered graphics and Win 2000 live for system memory and for optimum performance you need 256mb of memory. Web browsers are ram hungry when you browse pages with graphics or Java applications and run smoothly at 128mb. For action games 256mb memory makes everything about your gaming experience better and enjoyable. Memory upgrades enable smoother transition between applications and aids multitasking. Should I Upgrade? Although any time is a great time to add memory, there are several times when upgrading makes perfect sense. Think of it like that yearly flu shot or getting your car's oil changed every 3,000 miles. It's a preventative measure to keep your system healthy and happy over the long haul. Any time you add RAM, consider this money-saving tip. If the memory upgrade will fill all the slots in your system, get as much memory (Megabytes) as you can. This will save you money if you think you ever want to upgrade again down the road. That's because once you fill a system's slots, you have to remove some of the existing memory to make room for new, higher-capacity modules. The good news is you can dramatically improve your PCs performance with a simple and inexpensive memory upgrade. In addition to the processor requirement, RAM is the critical factor in your system equation. Adding 64MB-128MB RAM can make an old system seem like new and delay the need for a new system. It can even save you money over a processor upgrade, often with faster results! Benefits of RAM include faster application start-up time and reduction of "click to clunk time" — that annoying lag in processing routine operations such as updating text or graphics and displaying the results on-screen. |
