That is True for session usage if speed is not
the intent. There is a balance with the rest of
the system there. However, I run 1 gig of RAM
and really don't have much of any issues
unless I get a bit lax in closing apps not being
used plus running larger ones. . One could
increase virtual memory too. Depends if you are
running a lot of audio software/processing yes
but if it is average use even running Jaws, I'd
be saving the RAM bucks towards a newer machine
if it is an older XP machine. If bucks are an
issue and one is running large programs and that
would help with access to them yeah I might then drop some green for RAM :).

Brad, it is not a matter of speed but the less memory then the
application like JAWS slows down and becomes sluggish as more RAM is
being utilized.

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Windows 7 Maximum ram
I suppose it depends on the speed of the processor, width/speed of
the front side bus, and if you use the system heavy or not. I
think there is a limit to how much added RAM will help speed. e. g.
drinking one can of Red Bull might wake you up to do stuff faster but
4 cans isn't going to help much in that direction, you'll only go so
fast anyway :). I think for best performance it is best to have all the
same size RAM installed so that is something too. I guess if its working
fine how you use it I'd probably save the money.
