[QUOTE="slinki, post: 568942, member: 39694"] Yes, it came with 2GB, and I kept it that way for about 4-5 months, only recently upgrading to 4GB. It handled normal stuff no problem at all, working quite fast will all manner of applications and functions. It was really CS3, and Photoshop in particular that caused me to upgrade. With 2GB my machine had ZERO RAM left during some heavy work. This problem has now been fixed, and I have a nice bit of headroom. The system now feels much more responsive, and it boots up quicker. Naturally apps have speeded up, and you can have more open at the same time etc. Sooo.. 2GB --> 4GB = Noticeable Difference (For Me) If you dont use RAM intensive programs then an upgrade may not be worth it. Its useful to keep an eye on system resources to see how much RAM you are using. [/QUOTE]
