Right now this device's lack of RAM is a killer (I regularly run out of 8GB on my MBP). Buuuut... when OSX 10.7 comes out with app resume functionality, opening and closing apps will be fast (thanks to the OS and the rapid drive these things carry)... so more than 4GB will not be needed for me.
So I'm thinking that iOS's desktop legacy might be a bit bigger than just weird scroll bars and a cool app launcher.
- Qz 16y agoAm I crazy for still only running 2GB on my desktop?
- JofArnold 16y agoCrazy, no. Amazing, yes! :)
- cubicle67 16y agoha! I'm running Snow Leopard here on a 4.5 year old 32 bit (pre Core 2 Duo) iMac with 512Mb ram (double the original amount) I'd like to get a new machine, but this one's as good as new apart from the drive which I replaced with a 1Tb one earlier this year
- ralphc 16y agoYou should try popping in a recent Ubuntu disk. Older (circa 2008) distributions had trouble with the hardware, but I have a 2006 MacBook Pro that "just works" with 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04. I even Bootcamped the hard disk and dual boot Snow Leopard and Lucid.
- matwood 16y agoDepends on what you use it for. I have 8GB in my MBP, but that's mainly because of VMware.
- wazoox 16y agoMy laptop (macbook uni 13") has 2 GB of RAM; my desktop (slackware 13.1) 768 MB... but it's showing its age, 5 years :) I mostly use the macbook as an X terminal to the desktop, actually :)
- aphexairlines 16y agoThat's ok, you can just add some more RAM when you nee... oh.
