| 1403111 | 2015-06-18 13:38:00 | 4GB is plenty of RAM. Modern versions of Windows cache RAM to take better advantage of it. I restarted my computer twice this evening, first after Win update, then after program updates. I have just over 600MB left free. I worry that may not b enough. It is my nature to multitask in a big way all the time. MS has declared my computer Win10 ready. I have 111GB SSD, 1TB internal & 1TB external HDDs, so I guess I am OK. except that I want a little better sound. |

If I remember correctly. Thanks for the info. |

| 1403114 | 2015-06-19 01:54:00 | 4GB will be fine. If upgrading I'd advise going to 8GB. | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1403115 | 2015-06-19 02:29:00 | Win 7, 8 and 10, 4GB minimum for it to run acceptably. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1403116 | 2015-06-19 02:40:00 | even with 2Gb , Win7 runs OK, for basic Office/workstation stuff . There are many thousands of Win7 PC's running quite happily on 2Gb 32bit wont even give you the full 4G , some 4Gb laptops end up with around 3Gb as seen by the OS , the rest being wasted on vid ram, unsuable RAM etc More RAM is allways better though :-) or is it ??
