RAM Needs for All Kinds of Computer Persons

From the concept of 0 and 1 computing, evolved the modern versions of computer system, and from that computer's have branched into a multi capable automated tool accessible and purposeful for every kind of company and individual.

Here is a list of different selection of people, how they will theoretically use a computer, and how that computer should meet up with their prerequisites.

RAM Needs of an Occasional User

A person will occasionally sit with a computer, but isn't really open minded with the nifty efficacy of the computer. So he will not be completely aware of the performance of the machine. He will regard it to difficulty or lack of skill that he can't get something done using a computer.

What this mean is, for an occasional user who does not know much about computers, his first impression of the computer will depend on the capacity of his machine. For them, a medium capable computer should be enough.

Consider 128MB of ram with matching specs from other installed hardware.

RAM Needs of an Occasional Internet Surfer

What differentiates a user from a surfer is that the surfer should be more capable of navigating a computer interface. He/she will require a decent computer to run modern web browsers with ease and speed.

128-256 RAM with matching specs should do for occasional surfers.

RAM Needs of a Mid-Literate User

A mid literate user will be as good as an occasional surfer but with some skills with other working interface, like word processing, presentations, and data sheets.

It is enough to have 128-256 RAM, as these programs, like Microsoft Office, should run smoothly even in slower PCs.

RAM Needs of an Everyday Internet Surfer

An everyday internet surfer (if not) will have mastered the web browser interface (or have advanced knowledge of such) and be able to browse using several tabs opened at the same time. His mental reflex is fast to come up with what he needs when researching information in the internet. It also means that the computer will have to compete with his speed, and load about 10 pages at a time with ease.

256-512 RAM for an Everyday surfer can't be too much, but there will be no complain and he will be able to work flawlessly.

RAM Needs of an Ordinary Student

A student with any course aside from computer related courses such as programming or IT, will need a computer for research, homeworks, and projects, but won't need it as much as spending their whole day sitting on a computer.

256-512 will fit a student's needs perfectly if he is just to surf and print papers for school.

RAM Needs of a Programming and IT Student

A programming student needs speedy computer, since, after programming you will have to compile your programs and it will take seconds to minutes depending on the complexity of the program. This process will be repeated several times due to errors that a student cannot perfect since he is just in the learning stage of programming.

1Gb Memory should be fit for a Programming Student

RAM Needs of a Graphics Programmer Student

The needs of a Graphics Programmer student is pretty much the same as if he would just do ordinary programming, since that upgrade must be on the graphics card.

1Gb of Memory as well.

RAM Needs of a Programmer

A programmer will know how to manage the computer and maximize what limited resource he has, but as for productivity he will still need a fast computer.

512MB to 1.5GB, he can utilize well.

RAM Needs of a Web Designer

A web designer is not a programmer (otherwise he is literate with scripting languages which incorporates some programming)

However, html codes do not need to be compiled and uploading is pretty easy.

512MB (surprisingly) is enough.

RAM Needs of a Gamer!

A gamer will always want the best games on the market, and by all means the best hardware to meet up the required specs for his games.

1Gb-2Gb RAM for a Gamer.

RAM Needs of a Server

A server isn't a person who just uses the computer. It is where an interconnected number of computers are linked together as a group. The server (for companies) has the responsibility to respond to each computer at the same time, so it will process massive loads at one time.

Mostly it will need a 64 bit computer, a kind of computer capable of installing higher level hardware.

A server as per its load will require from 4 gigabyte to 1 terabyte or RAM, or maybe more.
