and where are you getting these ridiculously cheap RAM sticks? 1GB for less than $25? Sign me up. |
www.summitdirect.com check their pricelist, RAM is effin cheap these days |

Not buying RAM, apparently. :p |

Who cares, if you're worrying about RAM usage these days as an end user on a modern home PC there's something wrong. 4GB of RAM can be had for way less than $100. |
So are you running Vista for x64? Because if not (and most people aren't), then you can't actually get 4 GB for any price.
I can appreciate that most people have more than they know what to do with, but there's something seriously wrong when a web browser takes up twice as much memory as Photoshop or even Visual Studio.
I'm more concerned about the GDI leaks than the generic memory leaks, though. It remains to be seen whether or not they've truly fixed those. |

I just bought 2GB of RAM for my Macbook a couple months ago for like $60 with shipping and taxes.
Can't complain at all for that price especially when its like $100 for 1GB @ The Mac store or something.

Of course I am. I'm not that dense. Also I never really experienced the infamous Firefox memory leaks, even with 12+ tabs open it never went over 500MB. Though, MSN Messenger has routinely seen 800+ at times for some reason. |

You should not need 500MB to surf the web, and you should not need 800MB to chat with your friends. |

You're joking? The program that people use to IM each other...800MB? Am I glad I don't use it. |

He did post list above.
You can easily buy a stick of 1GB for $20.

12 tabs open. Seems pretty solid to me ;)
PS, I haven't installed the final version of 3.0 yet and I'm still on RC3. |
