really?
memory has far greater uses then just brute speed, an example is you have A Powerpoint document, several web pages, email and other applications open, and most are laying idle, they have to reside somewhere if you dont have much memory they will be cached to your hard drive which will be alot slower.

Well given this is Dell I imagine this is a maximum and they're be different configurations.

Ironduke,
Sure, more memory is always useful, but the usage model you've listed doesn't need anything like 2GB never mind 4GB, we can do all that on a PIII with 512MB of RAM. Only things like 3D games, photos and video editing will need more RAM than that and I can't imagine an Atom will be able to handle those tasks.

thats your model, not everyones model.

i expect the 4gb is a typo.
ctrl+alt+delete the pc your using goto perfomance and have a look at you peak commit charge?
bet its between 700mb-1.5gb most

Why would anyone need 4GB of RAM when the processor will be too slow for any tasks that will need that much RAM ? Seems like a waste.
