As a XP-SP3 user and know just enough to be dngerous, how much memory is required to see SIGNIFICANT performance upgrades to warrant moving to W7?
With memory - DDR2 - being so cheap put in as much as your system will hold.
The current price is about 10 per gigabyte.
How much memory do you have now?
I upgraded my daughters machine because it was too slow under Vista and perfomed ok under XP and it is noticeably faster under W7...I was going to upgrade the memory but I didn’t need to.
It also depends on how many features you turn on but the platform is very stable and very nice to use.
