[QUOTE="James, post: 68456, member: 7582"] "Never use that much"... ever done any high end video editing? How about a good sized 25 colum 250 deep or better spread sheet with lots of math and what ifs...? Like they say, if you build it they will come, and in computers if it can be done it will be done. Granted, the average, probably even 85%, of computer users never need more than 512 ram to do what they do, but 2 gig of ram is many times very usable for the other 15%. But, then here we are with Fords and Chevies again. Personally i would rather work at the top end of the barrel than at the bottom. "very heavy/advanced Excel/Access use (mostly work related)"..Vakej I take this to mean that the man does the type of work that could very well take advantage of 2 gig of ram, perhaps I misunderstood him and 512 or 1 gig would be more than enough, that is up to him to decide, not you. One thing i think we can all pretty much agree on is that he would probably be happier on a nice Mac than on an ibm style machine with all its problems. [/QUOTE]
