Hey should I buy a comp. w/ 512 mg or 1gb of ram?

Question

how long will each last me for normal computer stuff?? (web, Ms Office, email, etc.)
how about if I want to play hi-end games?

i mean 512 mb

Answer 1

If you are going to make that a gaming computer then yes get the gig of ram plus get a good graphics card to put in there. But if your mainly using office stuff then 512 should be fine.

Answer 2

One 1GB stick is better appropriate. the pc will be in a position to get proper of entry to all the memory speedier because all of it is residing on one RAM module. If 2 x 512 MB is more cost-effective although, i'd bypass with that because the aforementioned % should not be sufficient to justify spending better money.

Answer 3

My philosophy has always been to buy the MOST memory that I could afford when I bought the new computer.. if you don't need it NOW.. you will soon!!! hahaahahaha!!

also.. high end games need all the speed, memory, and video memory they can get!

Answer 4

Both should last at least 3 years

Answer 5

depending on what your going to use it for but if your going to do 1 gig why not 2 for the 100.00 it will cost you and if your going to play games you need a good video card

Answer 6

Go with a 1G. You won't be able to run some modern applications if you don't. No one ever regretted getting too much memory.

Answer 7

I gb because computers should be bought with the fastest memory .

Answer 8

if you are going to listen to music on iTunes, go on MySpace, and type a Word document, all at the same time, go with 1GB.

if you use programs such as those mentioned above in moderation, go with the 512MB.

Answer 9

If you want speed and less down time or stalling 1gb

Answer 10

More Power!
