My experience so far is that 4 GB is enough RM. When things are running
normally with not too many programs running (but 65 to 80 processes), you're
using less than 2 GB of RAM. Doesn't matter whether this is with
Wiindow-Eyes, JAWS or NVDA. 8 GB would provide some insurance, especially if
you leave your computer running for days at a time, but I don't think it's a
big deal. But 2 GB isn't enough these days. Just my experience. YMMV.

The Section 508 compliance office for the VA recommends that visually
impaired computer users using screen access software have a minimum of 8
GB RAM in their systems. This is an issue that I am fighting with my
facility because our IT department has a policy of maximum of 4 GB RAM
on all systems, no exceptions.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] WE crashing was RE: Seeking Your Input
Hello all,
To those who say they are having crashing issues, I ask two questions:
1. What antivirus package are you running?
2. How much RAM does your machine have?
These are important questions as they can go to some of these issues. I
was running Vipre on my netbook which slowed down the system and cause
crashing issues. I no longer run Vipre and am getting better
performance as a result.
Thanks.
