How much RAM are you using now?

[Quillz]

I use 1 GB in both my desktop and laptop. Works fine for me, I don't need much more at the moment.

I currently have 4GB, however being on a 32bit OS I can only use just over 3gb.

Currently running Firefox, Evolution, Gaim, Skype:

Um... eh... I'm running Vista at the moment and I can't quite answer the question, since my monitor isn't wide enough to fit in all the digits of this memory usage meter here.

[Sunnz]

Heh he Mr. Gates, didn't your development team implement this thing called "word wrap" on Vista?

Oops... I didn't read the first post and took the poll, it's not defined enough in the voting explanation. So, with that said, I'm using approximately 800MB total on a 3GB system. I'll have to check when I get back home.
