does anyone have an idea of how much ram it is used to burn and rip movies. using windows task manager does not give you a true picture. any clues out there? thanks a million!
A lot of people recommend a gig of RAM, but I have 768MB and I have no problems whatsoever. In addition to RAM, make sure you have at least 10-15GB of hard drive space free for ripping. You'll definately need it.
Most folks will recommend a minimum of 512mb of ram. I personally recommend 1gb. With the price of ram going down all the time you might just as well have as much as you can. I have 2gb in my system and get flawless burns. I backed up 12 DVD's this past weekend without a problem.
thanks partners! is anyone using ram cooling devices. i wonder what benefits we'll see if do get one.
I have 512 on my system and everything runs very smooth. However, note that I have no auto updates running, nothing running in the background and I disable antivirus software and screensaver while burning. As stated in a previous post, ram has come down in price so I will be upgrading to 1 gig.
thanks! still, it will be good to know technically how much ram is used on a ripping/burning process. we'll find out
As far as cooling goes, I do place a small fan in front of my system anytime that I do a backup. I started doing this after an overheat and MB burnup. The additional air flow really helps to keep it cooler. Needed? I don't know, but it gives me peace of mind, and is a cheap safety factor.
if my piece of crap 2.8/512 celeron works,(well almost most of the time) then you shouldnt have any worries waiting for rebuilded upgrade soon,so no-one take the michael
