how much ram is suggested now for normal use i.e. not playing graphically intense games? i was thinking about upgrading how much ram i have and you have 4g and plan on upgrading to 8g. i know ram is cheap but for using the internet and some low quality graphic games what would you suggest?
4g of ram is still plenty for today for web surfing and gaming. Web surfing doesn't require a lot of ram, you can websurf even with a 1ghz computer with 512mb ram without it being too sluggish. It's just...all the other processes you have to run such as your AV software that might slow it down.
It's a Toshiba Sattelite A660 11M
Specs are:
Intel I7 720QM 1.6/2.8 '(TurboCharge)' Ghz, 6MB cache
4Gb of DDR3 1066 Mhz Ram '(I am Planning on interchanging with 8 gb 1333)'
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M '(1 gb dedicated memory, 1.73 cache available)'
16 inch screen with 16 : 9 aspect ratio and LED backlighting
maximum battery life : up to 3h20min '(Not the best, but ohwell)'
Weighing in at just 2.6 kg
Comment/Critique
It comes with a mid range dedicated graphics card unit so you can't really expect the battery life to be that high. Pretty good laptop good enough to play most games in med settings. Judging by the screen size as well I take it this is a desktop replacement laptop for you?
