How Much Memory is enough?
These days no matter how much memory your computer has it never seems quite enough. Not
long ago, it was unheard of for a personal computer, or PC, to have more than 1 or 2Mbs of
memory. Today you need at least 4Mb of memory just to boot up a system; using more than
one application at a time requires at least 16Mbs; and maximum performance today calls for
32-64Mbs or more.
For some the memory equation is simple: more is good; less is bad.
The right
amount of memory varies according to the type of work you do and the type of software
applications you are using. Today's word processing and spreadsheet work requires as
little as 12 Mb. However, systems equipped with 32Mb have become the low-end assumption by
software and operating system developers. Systems used for graphic arts, publishing, and
multimedia call for at least 64Mb of memory and it's common for such systems to have 128Mb
or more.
Perhaps you already know what it's like to work on a system that doesn't have quite enough
memory. Things run a little slowly at times, memory errors can occur more frequently, and
sometimes you can't launch an application or a file without first closing or quitting
another. On a system with sufficient memory, you can do multiple tasks at once -such as
printing one document while working on another, and you can keep multiple applications
open simultaneously.
