Two GB is currently still high end, one GB is standard for a gamer, and 512 is standard for a normal pc. It's still gonna take sometime till 2 GB becomes the standard.
2 GB the way of the future?

Some might label me a conspiracy theorist, but I have a dman strong feeling that software companies are purposely setting the requirements damn high, just so the hardware manufacturers can make profit. Hell, they probably don't even optimize their software for minimal hardware requirements.

QUOTE(ikanayam @ May 28 2006, 09:46 PM) If you want more functionality out of your programs, the program sizes will grow. Fine, whatever. Then don't use the extra functionality. Who wants to fork out 2gb more memory for an OS that sports a shinier GUI? Ok, given, there are good things too, like maybe DX 10 or so, but still....4gb is a tick too much, I find.Amdahl's lesser known law: memory size has to grow linearly with the increase in CPU speed.  |
