pc/laptop

[Tek Ang]

Depending on what it is you are using the notebook for. Now days, 2 GB is pretty 
standard for any system.

For myself, I have HP Pavillion DV9616CA and  just upgraded from 2 GB to 3 GB. 
There was no particular reason for the upgrade other than I found a good deal 
for the memory.  My typical usage are internet, music, movie, and tinkering 
around the system. I like to keep my system lean and trim, so I have not had any 
issue with speed or lack of memory.

My kids have an IBM ThinkPad T42 with only 1 GB. There is an obvious difference 
in term of processing speed, but for the kids, it does what they want it to do, 
i.e. internet (webkins, youtube, flash games).

If it's a new laptop it should run Maverick without any issues. You can't buy a 
new one with under 3GB of RAM and I never go over 2GB and I'm quite a resource 
hog). About a gig on Opera and another 300MB on Chrome, running for a bit over a 
week without a reboot lol.
