i have a game that asks for 1.5 GB but i have 1401 MB in space, is that enough?

Even if the game took a little less than 1.5GB your hard drive would be almost completely full and you would have no room for virtual memory, this could really slow down your system.\n\nActually the others are wrong, 1401MB does NOT equal 1.401GB  1401MB =1.368GB\n1GB=1024MB

Is your pc mem full ? if not no you dont need more

Start.... My Computer.... C: drive.  Look at the far left column, scroll down to the bottom, and it will tell you how many GB are used and how many are free on your computer.\n\nIf yours is nearly full, then you would want one that has more than you already have.\n\n\nI♥♫→mia☼☺†

you want to sacrifice music for space??? just encode them all to Ogg Vorbis files (vorbis.com) at 64 KBps. That should give you like a gigabyte back. without giving music to the void in Heaven

just send everything to a yahoo id its much better and more storage space like 1 gb. I can get you a gmail account that has 2gb storage just let me know im at virds2k@yahoo.com

cannot say for movies and games because they are too different in size. for songs lets assume a song is 4Mb then fit 750'000 songs in 3TB.

install OS on 40 GB\nthen connect 20 GB as slave ( change the jumber settings \nor connect to IDE2 )\n\nCopy all the files from 20 GB to 40 GB\n\n\neither use it as a secondary one ( if it is good )\n\n\n\n\n..........................

61,440 Megabytes of data which is equivalent to about 15,000 music files (mp3s). Or about 30 games that need about 2 gigs of space each. It can probably hold about 100-200 movies.

no , you actually need 4 256 mb ram to equal 1gb ram

I just bought my half-life 2 last week, They are 3 cds and so easy to install. When I install it , the game says that this game needs 3.3 gigabytes so I continue. When the installation is finished I uninstall it because my computer cant hold that 3.3 gig.

Make each movie about 1.185GB or around 1,213MB each, if possible.  To find out how much space this will take up in GB, multiply the size of each movie in MB (1,213) by the number of movies (1,213 x 4), then divide by how many MB are in a GB (1024).  so (1,213 x 4)/1024 = X  X=4.73828125 or about 4.74GB.  Should be good.

may be the old one was of less size like 650 MB .. check this also ..

My only comment would be about the external hard drive - USB. I don't think the tranfer rate would be fast enough to play a game on if that is what you intend to do with it.\nALso, is the 512 memory in addition to what you have, or is that it. 512 would not be ideal for a high requirement game, you would need at least 1GB.

Hands up how many people here have used all of their 1gb allowance?\nOh good none of you\n\nI'd be surprised if I've actually used more than 20mb of mine. I remember when YM was initially only 1mb (and Hotmail's big selling point is that it offered TWO mb!)... then 5, and 11.... and stayed at 11 for donkeys years before suddenly jumping, after the arrival of the dreaded GMail.\n\nIt's known as a quota system, where you don't actually have a fixed space on the disc, your stuff just all goes into a folder or an archive file that's part of a big distributed storage array. They may offer you a maximum of 1gb, but the discs they buy and the average space allocation per user is based on some statistical analysis to give a rough guessimate predicition of what a typical person might burn through in a year. Call it 20mb, with some people using a few hundred megs, others barely making it to one. Your space requirements have now been slashed by a factor of fifty and you can get 25,000 users into one of those mammoth hard discs.\n\nThey could, theoretically speaking, offer you nearly unlimited storage (certainly several terabytes out of the *enormous* total) and still have a workable system.... if everyone was honest. The 1Gb limit is to stop the usual conceptual Handful Of Miscreants abusing it and leaving no space for anyone else.\n\nBesides, and especially in business terms, storage space is dirt cheap these days. How else would I be able to buy a brand new 20gb mp3 player for £90? A server spec hard disc of about 75gb (high-speed ones like that are smaller for some reason) is only about £50 these days. If, once again, you assume that to be about 3750 people, that's not even 2p per user. They can make that back with a couple of banner ads that the user sees on logging in. Job's a goodun.\n\n(Same reason, really, that Google can offer their "Maps" and "Earth" services, or any online seach engine such as Yahoo can work these days... if you have even a comparitively paltry ten grand to blow (might have got you, in the early 90s, the storage space represented now by a couple of Blu-Ray discs) you can afford such a mass of hard drive space, and the rather simple fileservers to manage it, that satellite mapping the entire planet at 10 centimetre resolution becomes more of an administrative than a technical problem)

If you mean if you have 18.2 GB free hard drive space and you want to download a program that is 512mb, I'd say go for it, after all, that is barely 1/18 of your hard drive.

The difference in memory installed is probably being used by your video card.  It looks like around 22MBytes.
