How much memory are you guys running for editing. I have an alienware desktop that I piked up two or three years ago and it only had 3 gigs of memory in it. I kept the memory low at the time and upgraded other stuff knowing I would build the memory up later. it has 6 slots and currently 3- 1gig cards that most likely will go into a drawer. im trying to keep costs down because I dont have a ton of cash, well not that i want to spend. for around $65 bucks I can pick up an 8 gig card. and that would leave 5 slots to add 8 gig cards to down the line giving me 48 if i ever go that many before the computer dies. for 100 i could pick up 6 4 gig chips giving me 24 gigs. i'm thinking that would likely last me till the computer died, its got an i7 processor in it now. would 24 gigs be overkill for editing. or would mightroom and cs5 make good use of 24 gigs?
With 6 slots I have a lot of options what I can go with.
