Hi Ann, I always tell clients I help with memmory issues, to get the most ram that their laptop will work with. So, if your laptop will work with, 2 gigs or even more than that of ram, go for it. Now if it's a windows xp computer, it will only work with 3 gig of ram at the most.

I have a lap top I want to use for teaching J-Say. Currently it has less than a gig of memory and can't manage. Will 1 gb be enough? 2? Thanks, Ann
