Hi, everybody,


I'm currently building a PC that contains a Gigabyte Mobo EP45-UD3L with Intel Pentium E5200 Dual Core chip.

I have on order the Windows XP Pro 64-bit operating system (OEM). I've also ordered 4GB of Kingston DDR2 DIMM chips. Will that be enough RAM to run MS Office, surf the Net and do some graphics work? This is not intended to be a gamer PC or anything else "extreme". Just for home office work.

Thanks, in advance,

Roy

2 gigs would be enough RAM for that configuration. 4 gigs will run that machine optimally.
