How much RAM do you have on Windows 7?

[Creer]

There is already thread about how much ram do you have on Windows XP (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=145439) so to separate versions of Windows I have started this new thread with question: How much RAM do you have on your Windows 7 machine?

Windows 7 can't run with less than 1Gb of RAM so you should remove them from the poll .
? 256 Mb RAM ? and Windows 7 ?

I run it with 2Gb

Actually, I have tried it in a VM and Windows 7 runs fine with 512MB, aero et al. 256 will not allow for Aero, but with a 'classic' theme (WDM and theming disabled) W7 runs fairly well. Not that I would recommend either, of course.

I then installed Windows 7 in an FD-ISR snapshot (on my main desktop) and there it runs with 8GB. I don't like it though, but that's another topic. Nuff said. Cheers,

Not true....it will, quite a few people in various IT/tech forums have done it, and use it that way. Sure..it's not a ball of fire, takes a while to boot up, but once it's booted up it actually runs OK. Yes yes I'm aware Microsofts "requirements" list state 1 gig minimum, but people will still push the limits.

Myself...2x primary rigs are 4 gigs of RAM, have it on 2 systems at work with just 1 gig of RAM..it runs just as well as XP did on those rigs.

While it could be possible as you both state , I wouldn't recommend this at all.

I have seen Windows XP installed on a computer with just 64 Mb RAM and you can't imagine (well , actually you can) how slowly it runs . I have also seen Windows 2003 server with 128 Mb RAM but I can't imagine 256 Mb RAM for Windows 7 because it is much bigger creature than XP is (for example) .

But , who knows , everything's possible :thumb:

Thank you guys for letting me know :thumb:

8 GB. (well, minus 256 MB for my onboard VGA).

Since the main advantage of x64 is not having the limit of 3+ GB , you may as well go for 8.

[jmc777]

6GB :P

[xxJackxx]

8GB on the desktop, 4GB on the laptop. 8 is probably overkill, but why not, it was cheap. ;D

[Noob]

2GB, was planning on 4GB when i built my pc last year, but my damn stupid bro only bought 2GB ;D
Although it was damn cheap ::)

(I don't get more now because i bought them from USA, PC hardware here is quite expensive and most are cheap brands)

[wat0114]

2 GB but need 4 GB minimum, badly for my x64 setup :'(

[tipstir]

16GB of RAM more than enough for us Programmers. 8GB if your really darning.

[XPS743]

4 for me along with my Intel Core Duo Centrino 2.4 processor and an ATI Mobility HD 3670.

[icr]

4 GB for me with Windows 7 ultimate on my main computer.
Will buy 4 GB more. Here in India the price of RAM sticks(2 GB) are very cheap
(1500 Rs) 1$ = 50 Rs;D

[funkydude]

I'm on 4GB :)

[progress]

3 GB :)

[Mr.PC]

4 GB of RAM.

[YanK33]

i have 8GB of DDR3

[dw426]

6Gb here, DDR3 as well.

[The Hammer]

12GB of DDR3.

[Franklin]

32 bit - 4 gig but may boost that to 8 gig just to brag about it. ;)

[Woodgiant]

6Gb DDR3 on the laptop:)

[c2d]

still on 2 GB

[CJsDad]

Can't vote, I have 6 GB

[the Tester]

4 GB of RAM here.

[J_L]

4 GB, don't really see the need for more.

[EliteKiller]

8GB DDR2 on my workstation/gaming rig
4GB DDR2 on my laptop

[mrgigabyte]

i have 4 GB of RAM here also for my machine

[dw426]

6Gb here.

[xxJackxx]

Have to change mine from 8GB to 4GB. The 8GB of cheap RAM was highly unstable. You get what you pay for. Went for 4GB of quality RAM.

[the_sly_dog]

8gb Of ddr3

[AvinashR]

3 GB is enough for me... Soon i'll gonna make it 8GB..

[SirPeterPan]

4GB DDR3 system memory

[mercurie]

no vote here I don't have Win 7 OS, however, I will say to the earlier posts I run XP on 797 MHz Celeron with 256 RAM on loan to family member. Obviously video and burning files to CDs and such can be taxing but for browsing and email there are no issues. Internet connection is FIOS.

Certainly here on Wilders site almost as good as those with lots of RAM on WIN 7 OS.

[ExtremeGamerBR]

8GB DDR2.

[safeguy]

3GB DDR2....it comes default with an Acer lappie that I bought 2 years ago.:p

Fine to use for daily purposes but, I'd wish for more if I could.
