How Much Memory Should I have?
 
Sometimes my computer seems to get sluggish and chug like it is running of hard disk. I think I have 1 gig of memory. I mostly browse the web and play some everquest. Should I look at getting more memory? If so, how much more memory do you think I should get?

with what you are using your comp for 1GB is LOTS. I only have a gig, and i use my comp for intense programming and encryption algorithms, and it runs as nice as anything. It's been a slow day and i still have 12 apps running right now, without any lapse.
you most likely have spyware or somesort of huge memory leak in a program, get yourself a copy of a program called hackthis, and post the text file it produces and you can probably get help as to the memory stealing culprit.

Yeah I have 1.5 gigs and rarely use 1 gig. I would check what you have running in the background and see if something is hogging the memory.

some of the people i have across say that their tshould be around 2 gb of free space in the computer to make it work properly

I'd say to have as much memory as you can afford - game programmers are constantly using up more and more resources as the games get more intense... you can NEVER have too much!

It sounds like memory is not the cause for the slowdown.
