You are still measuring your RAM in GB's ... how quaint.

I've got 3 gigs with an AMD dual core/Windows Vista. Only time I've had a problem is when I get too many large images open in Adesign. Adesign will slow to a crawl because it has unlimited Undo/Redo. It's a bit of a memory hog.

Tom's Hardware did an article on this a while ago: Do You Really Need More Than 6 GB Of RAM? . They found that for pretty much everything they tested for, there was almost no appreciable difference between 3GB and anything more than that. I suppose I could see adding a couple extra GB for a server, or if you're going to be using virtual machines a lot, but 12GB certainly seems like overkill to me.
My desktop and laptop both have 3GB at the moment, and to be honest, I rarely ran out even when my desktop only had 1GB (though to be fair, I never really used Vista). 3GB is plenty for me for the time being.

4 GB for my gaming desktop, 2 GB for my regular desktop, 2 GB for my laptop, and 1 GB for my old gaming desktop. I've got memory of all types since I bought my first computer: SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM, and I might get a new one with 16 GB DDR3 RAM.
My GUID: ca2262a7-0026-4830-a0b3-fe5d66c4eb1d  Now I can Google this value and find all my Code Project posts!

I'm actually working on 64bit and 4GB of ram, is working fine with Visual Studio 2004 64-bit, and visual Studio 2008 64-bit, and SQL-Server 2005/2008 64-bit, with no problems at all. It seesm the future of the 64bit is not bad after all, and the things are really so fast on my machine even with the IE64-bit. I suggest for anyone who's doing lot's of development like me should be using 64-bit machines.
Thanks,

I'm using Windows Vista + Visual Studio 2008 and I have 2 GB of RAM both on my PC and on my laptop. I find it's more than enough.

Huntress kills elephant for a bet [^]
Not only did she get so close to the elephant that she couldn't fail to miss, she then lets it wander off to die overnight.
Maybe I should bet her that she couldn't jump off a 300ft cliff onto rocks below.
Hopefully she would treat that bet with the same determination and rid the world of stupid people like her.

Elephants are not an endangered species you know, and they have to be culled each year.
Funny how because it is an elephant it engenders more sympathy than say rats or locusts.
We think nothing of killing millions of chickens each year, or of swatting flies.
I would have been impressed if she strangled it to death though!

The absurd part of that is that they need to be culled because man is artificially adjusting the population to suit his own needs. If we left nature to her own devices, the population would regulate itself based on food supply, predation, and other *natural* environmental conditions.
Man is interfering, and that's the root of the problem.

Yes, but one that alters the environment far more than any other animal in history.

Do locusts cause heavy metals to contaminate the Arctic? Their effects may be devastating but they are localised. Humans change the environment globally.

Locusts can, and do, change the global environment. As does every living thing in a lesser or greater degree.

Sorry, people have nothing on blue-green algae (or it's kin).
They wiped out most of the life forms that were around at the time.
All those anaerobic beasties were poisoned by all the oxygen algae gave off!
Changed the whole history of the planet, leading to (among other things) elephants and (drum roll please) humans!
Damn plants started all this crap that lead up to the development of AlGorithms.

I was concerned at the cruelty of leaving it to die a slow and possibly painful death. It's one thing to dispatch your prey with speed so that it suffers as little as possible and quite another to deliberatly inflict this level of completely unecessary cruelty. A quick bullet to the brain would, at least, have been quick and merciful after she'd accomplished her goal.
I did once almost buy some elephant hide cowboy boots but that was way before people become all cuddly about fluffy little creatures: see, I have no qualms eating or wearing them I just think it is vile to make them suffer for it.

Indeed, a coup de grace would have been preferable.
I do not like to inflict suffering un-necessarily, except to magpies.
