Amount of RAM needed for Broadband ?

sport (Competent) posted this on Monday, 15th December 2003, 10:08

I have just signed on for BT broadband, to be installed in a couple of weeks. The BT site says you need minimum 64 RAM for broadband, and I was told by a mate that all modern computers (mine`s 3 years old) has 64 MB.
Well, after right-clicking on `properties` it seems that my PC has only 63 MB. Should I look somewhere else ? Or can you get away with 63 RAM ?
If I really should upgrade to the recommended 128 RAM, what`s the easiest way ?
Thank you

The price of memory now I would definitely put more memory in. It`s easily the most cost-effective way to improve performance. Without details of your PC, motherboard etc. it`s difficult to know the right type you need but I would recommend getting decent branded stuff from somewhere like http://www.crucial.com/uk/index.asp

Thank you, just printed out the beleriac stuff. Turns out my PC has 64 Mb, so will probably upgrade.

The missing 1MB will be used for your graphics.
