Check Dick Smith and Harvey Norman CATALOGUE's first (catalogue
special prices hard to beat) "normal" shelf price is expensive.
Your local computer store is the best price and place to add ram in.
Check ebay this has 2 slots full 8 Meg

8 GB you would need a 64 bit OS.
I don't know what tricks Myer is pulling to squeeze 8GB out of a 4GB RAM
stick, probably overclocking.

You cant get more ram by overclocking, just faster ram.

It did have an actual 8Gb.
But the restore partition does contain both 32 and 64. If you stop the
install it will start up next time with 32. This means that its a
restoue of the OS if this happens removing all the files and restoring
64 which takes 3.5 hours. (just did it)

2 banks of 4 x 1meg sims, those were the days.
Brother had 4x4meg, expensive, it was a rocket. When he upgraded he used
the ram on a hdd controller. I used some on the AWE32 I used.

Suggest you look at what your computer is using now in Ram vs CPU
http://sfkilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=63
Make your own informed descision (as Rod pointed out you can through
Task Manager you can open Resource manager or RM, I find the Gadget
always there you can always start RM) .
I'm WIN7 32 bit with 2Gb RAM, rarely uses more than 60% of RAM, tops,
I use DVD maker to convert AVI to DVD often and it handles it without
more RAM used or needed. So what you need RAM for and is it needed, in
the past I've always had max ram and with WIN7 not found it needed
EVER. So check first then think, In early days Hard drives were slow
nowayadays they are fast (ok RAM is faster but you won't see it)
Windows is poised to release WIN8 the beta is out now the release is
supposed to be with a MS Tablet.

You have to go for the 16Gb (I think for video editing specific) the
problem is getting WIN7 to use it.
The program itself should be configurable. Set it if you have 16Gb RAM
set it to run at least 2GB below that, this allows the OS to run along
side.
Use the "Multi Meter" Gadget to see what RAM it is actually using.
Then let us know and we will know for sure.
CPU (double core) in my case seems to be the bottle neck

WIN8 will need to be optimized by a new disk format is my

the ideal range is 8077-10574Mb I have allocated 12500Mb.
Premiere is similar but the more ram you have even over the 16Gb the
better as you can preview greater portions or even a whole 30sec snip in
one go.
Next thing to find is a motherboard that can handle more ram, most only
16 or 32Gb. Some very high spec MB will take more HP??
Looks as if you can only buy 4Gb modules.

No you cant.
That just speeds up the cache, faster than using the hard drive for that.

I still don't see more RAM making the process run faster! With WIN7 it
seems to be limited by the processor much better to use a quad core
processor instead of dual core.

Ram disks are not new and I know of one in the 3.11 days. It is a wonder
that more hasn't been done in this field really since ram is so cheap
now. Games on a ram-disk do run super smooth and I believe a cad program
would love it. I did hear that Win7 SuperFetch is fairly smart but using
the ram that 32 bit windows can't allocate with a ramdisk would be a
real boost.

desktop, with a 32 bit OS, RAM was maxed out most of the time. Now, with
a 64 bit OS (Win 7 Pro) and 8 Gig, my system is much happier.
One of my laptops, a Toshiba L300, has 4 Gig of RAM with Vista 32 bit
and runs quite happily with a little RAM to spare.

a single 8 Gig simm may either not work or just give you 4. It would

just a comment that there were 8Gb chips now available in laptop ram.
The Laptop will be used to run Adobe products editing and rendering
movie files.
One of the problems is lack of specifications anywhere to assess the
system components as to maximum amount of ram etc.

Photoshop (a Apple/Mac product) allows you to select in WIN7 the RAM
you need.(personally not seen it speed up once you go above 4 Gig)
A friend of mine in Stockholm is a Editor of Veckans Affärer who do a
lot of Foto editing. They went from MAC's to Windows after a
relibility/qualty concern with MAC's
You can also add RAM (ReadyBoost) by using a (preferably) fast USB3
drive up to 256Gig you must leave 2Gig in reserve for your computer
(with 8Gig you can only select 6Gig)

used for relatively light duty work. If you're doing extensive graphics
or video work, most laptops just don't cut the mustard. At least with a
decent desktop you can install a much faster video card and then drive a
decent res monitor. I have one of the older Qosmios (5 years old now)
and it pumps out a 1920 x 1200 display (WUXGA) but still struggles with
high res video now and then.

came with Vista. She didn't like it so she purloined my Qosmio because
it has a better screen. The Qosmio came with XP media centre and has an
