Guys I know this question is being going around but I don't see a clear answer.
I buying a new laptop with windows 7 64 bit, processor i5-520m, the video car has 512mb of dedicated memory. I cannot decide on much ram to buy. Should I get 4GB or 6 GB? I've read that for 64 bit OS it is recomended 4GB, but is it realy necessary to have 6GB or is it just marketing? Among the things I do are: surf the web a lot, video calls, do homework, listen to music, having about 12 programs open at the same time. I also watch TV with slingbox (in my old laptop) and plan to play blueray movies.
What do you guys recomend for now and the future? I'm planning to keep my laptop for maybe 5 years.
Thanks!!!
