One of the most common questions I get during the day-to-day here at Same Day Computer is how much memory is enough memory?

For some gamer addicts, it's possible you can never have enough, but for most computer users, there is a balance that can be found- and there are also limits.

Finding the right amount of memory consists of analyzing what you do with your computer. If you only browse the web to read the new york times, you'll probably need less memory than somebody who edits photos.

Everybody's different, though, and it's hard to tell without looking at each machine. But here are a few good guidelines:

-If your computer appears to run slower than when you bought it...
More memory is unlikely to make your computer much faster than the day you bought it. But if you remember the "good ol' days" when your pc ran like a champ, it's very possible you need some more memory- and possibily a cleanup. Of course, Same Day Computer can help you out as always!

-Running a lot of programs slows you down...
Your computer runs fine, but as soon as you open a few programs at once, things start to slow down... especially when switching between the programs. Time for a new computer? Maybe not! More memory can easily solve this issue. Give us a call and we can help determine just what's right for you.

Now, it would be great if we could just keep adding more memory for the rest of eternity, we'd never have to buy another computer again, right? Well, unfortunately, computers have a limit for how much memory can be added. Certain parts of your machine can cause limitations:

• Motherboards have a max amount of memory. Some older motherboards may have a limit as low as 1 gb, or as high as 4!
• Operating systems limit the amount of system memory that can be utilized by your programs. This means that most Windows XP computer (which are usually 32-bit) can only handle a max of 4 gb (But usually only see about 3 - 3.25 gb)
• Newer computers with newer operating systems (Vista 64-bit) can address 8gb, 16gb, and even 128gb in different versions! Of course, this is still bottlenecked at the maximum your motherboard allows.

A strangely common problem that we've seen recently is a confusing one. A lot of our customers use their ipod to keep a backup of their music when doing a format on their PC/Mac. When they go to reconnect their ipod to recover their music- they try to sync with itunes, just to discover it erased all their music!

A couple hundred tracks from itunes isn't cheap, but fear not- this doesn't have to happen!

When Apple wrote itunes, they wanted to make it as simple as possible for their customers. Part of that simplicity included easy-to-do syncing, which may (or may not) be exactly what their customers were looking for.

But Apple did make a way to recover that music, you just need to pay attention! When you plug your ipod back into your machine, make sure NOT to re-sync off the bat.
