[NewspiritsFromOldghosts]

am going to have to replace my work laptop, i can't figure out what memory i need

tia.

yes

120gb is a lot
120mb is not

100mb = 1gb

i love you. in a strictly platonic way.

ahh
how lovely

1000MB = 1GB

You need 1GB of RAM for a PC or laptop. 2GB would be nice if possible, but not essential.

The hard drive should be 80GB or more depending what you will be storing on it.

Yes.
120 Gb would be the size of the hard drive, where your documents & programs are stored.
You will also see a figure for RAM which is another type of memory; it's what the computer uses to actually run the programs. This could be from about 512 Mb (half a GB) up to 2 or 3 Gb or even more. I doubt you'd find a new laptop on sale with 120 Mb of RAM.

If you're going to be running Vista you need at least 1Gb of RAM, and preferably 2GB

oh ok, so 1Gb of ram and 120Gb of hard drive is a fairly run of the mill thing then. It comes with vista basic which i would have taken off and put on my xp proffesional instead.

thank you by the way, i heart you all.
