Depends of the setup and what you´re using it for, but the test was very diverse.
I upgraded from 256Mb to 512Mb and didn´t really notice improvement.

What was the hardware test? I ask since this kind of benchmark is going to be effect greatly by number of programs loaded and how much multi-tasking you are doing.
For example, if you try and run VMWare with less then a Gig forget it. VMWare is a product that allows you to build virtual computers within your own. It's great for testing networking, new OS's, etc... [/QUOTE]Yea there are certainly programs like that, and almost any heavy graphic program will get a 256mb, or a 512mb pc down. I cannot find the url right now, but it seemed professional. [img]smile.gif[/img] Like any hardware test. If you have a home pc for playing and surfing in a light use which also runs ok, then there´s no point to upgrade.
You can find some of the tests by searching from Google, then you guys can prove me wrong.
