The amount of memory required by a computer system depends upon the main functions that the system will be expected to preform.
A standard desktop system only being used for internet and office use could happily work with a low amount of memory. If it where running Windows XP then 256MB would be enough memory for these functions.
A desktop system that is intended to be used for purposes such as video editing and gaming however would require significantly more memory. A system running windows Vista and intended for gaming would require a minimum of 2GB (2048MB) to function smoothly.
Systems such as servers that are intended to handle huge amounts of data would not be uncommon with memory in excess of 16GB. Supercomputers will have several Terabytes of memory available.

∙ 12y agoThe memory for a computer can hold more than 200,00,012 place for it memory probably more than that.
Depends on the operating system. Windows XP will run very nicely on 2 gigs of ram - even 1 gig is sufficient if you don't do a lot of memory intensive programs.
However, on Windows Vista or Windows 7 - 2 gigs of ram is considered minimum and some people even have 8 gigs of ram. Again, it depends on what you use your computer for. If you just surf and check emails you can get by with much less.

Why does Microsoft Flight Simulator X say not enough memory?
Microsoft Flight Simulator X says not enough memory because you don't have enough memory available. If you have other programs open, close them. If you don't you need to upgrade to more memory, buy another computer with more memory, or you can't play Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
How can you upgrade your computer if it does not have enough random-access memory?
You add more memory, or you replace the memory with larger modules.
Why does a computer hang after a memory test and refuses to load windows?

Is it possible for a computer to run out of memory with a virtual memory?
Yes. Virtual memory is used when there's not enough RAM in your system. It's just hard drive space that the PC sees as RAM. It is much much slower than RAM though. You could run out of memory if you are running enough programs that your use up all your RAM and your virtual memory is used up.
Why does your computer freeze while playing a game?
Probably not enough memory - try installing more memory.
If a program is using too much of system resources and bogging down?
The reason that a program is using too much memory is the way it is programmed or written. A solution to this is to quit or shut down the program and restart it. If there is still not enough memory then increasing the amount of memory on the computer will help. Another reason that a program is using too much memory is a virus is running on the computer. Like a human virus the computer virus is very bad news. There are still some computers that make it easy to catch a computer virus. Removing the virus will make the computer run much better.
If a computer has 128MB of memory and you add 1GB how much memory will you have in all?

What is gigabytes in computer?

Why does Sims 3 suddenly close?
It might be because your computer does not have enough memory or video card space to run it properly. Or, your pushing a button on your keyboard. :) You might just want to see how much memory your sims 3 game takes up, and how much your computer has. Hope this helps. Happy Simming :)
