2GB Memory
Hi,
I have a laptop with 1GB currently of RAM. I am using XP pro SP2 I am considering adding an additional 1GB of RAM to system. I use some processor intensive apps, Photoshop and Beyond TV. Am I wasting my money adding the additional 1GB? dave

2GB Memory
Hi Dave,
You will find a process and a tool to determine if more RAM is needed in the following article under "How big should the page file be?".

Am I wasting my money adding the additional 1GB? You say you use processor-intensive apps, but are they also RAM-intensive? Have you run the Task Manager during a session to see how much physical RAM you are using, and how much is swapped to VM?
