okay, for years i've been seeing the max RAM be at 1GB for laptops. why is this. now i want the new 17" powerbook from apple but see the max ram still at 1GB.
since i keep my computers for 5+ years, it is likely that 1GB just won't be enough 3-4 years from now. why is it limited? is it really limited? if 5GB Dimms are invented would they work on the same machine?
i don't get it.

you'll be fine untill doom 3 is released - and even then, the workload there should put most of the strain on your videocard.
i can't think of any other apps that will consume that much memory (5GB)... unless of course your name is Multi McTaskinson.

i know... that's what bothers me mitsu... 5 years ago i thought a 10GB hard drive would be all i would ever need... for a lifetime.
5 years from now photoshop 12 could require 512 by itself. and with an operating system using 400 or so, 1GB isn't so much anymore. just thinking...
i guess i could always sell it on ebay then and get a new one.
