Possibly - it depends on the applications you will be using, and the way in which they will be used.
Moving data from one device to another is not memory intensive, and more memory could slow that sort of process slightly Building video streams from pictures could possibly include a need to hold lots of detail for manipulation (e.g. having 50 5Mpixel, 32 bit colour pictures open is 1Gb) You could use performance monitor facilities to see how much real memory is being used by your applications under 1.5GB peak, or under 1Gb constant, and I'd say save the money But others will have other ideas JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 3:58 PM Subject: Hardware: RAM > HI All > > I have a P4 3.0GHZ with an ATI X600 PCI Express video card.
