How much RAM do you all reccomend for a PC that will be designed to run Photoshop, Run various video editing applications, and/or 3D graphics applications? Right now I am leaning towards 1 gig of RAM. Any particular brand name reccomendations? These are currently under scrutiny by me; OCZ EB PC 3200 (1 gig) Corsair XMS PRO (1 gig) Brand reccomendations and if you deem necessary, quantity questioning is appreciated. Please be aware that I am on a budget of $2000 without monitor, and I am using a PCI Express motherboard and Athlon 64 Socket 939 processor (The version to get is still under consideration; I am leaning towards 3200+)
1GB minimum but dont bother with the top end ram, in a grapics system (as opposed to a gaming system) things like timings arent especially important and you ont need hardcore overclocking memory you would be better off getting something like corsair value select (about 1/2 the price of XMS series) and getting 2GB if you are going to be doing heavy graphics work
But lets say this computer will also be used a server when we have school LAN parties... w00t! post 1111!
