When will one need more ram

[abz1981]

Hi all
maybe a stupid question. However what scenarios would a person ever need more ram than what they already have? I got a 2011 MBA 4GIG Ram. Seems to be doing me fine for my usage. However when in future do you believe i would have a problem where I wish I had more RAM.

Or is it one of them difficult questions where no one can really answer, apart from myself, until i ever if i ever do come across this problem?

If you're doing program intensive stuff, then I would advise to get more RAM, but if it's just day to day stuff (word, web browsing, videos), then you'll be fine. But if a nice sale comes up for your specific ram, it won't do any harm in buying it.

Yeah. Other than the fact that MBA RAM is not upgradeable...

Dont do any programming, and day to day stuff, is writing documents on pages, browsing, listening to my music on itunes, watching youtube videos and downloading my weekly episode of Dexter and watching that, looks like i am fine as it is then
