Just installed System Information for Windows recently, and ran a quick diagnostic of everything essential on my piece o' crap notebook computer. Then I found an awesome discovery - my laptop could carry up to 2GBs of RAM. I know, that's still shitty in today's standards (it is the norm for norm computers), but doubling my RAM from 1GB is already a good upgrade, considering that when I start GIMP, and not loading up an image, my RAM is already full and I'm now using 80% of my virtual memory.
Although I don't think I'll be getting an upgrade for my notebook anytime soon. I'm about to graduate, and I promised to myself that I'll be getting a new laptop once I'm out of the shithole they call high school. I'm certain that I'll need more power once I step foot into college.
