Is 4 gigabytes memory and 2 terabytes of storage a lot  for a home computer to have?

Yeah, the average RAM* for a home PC is about 512meg. HDD** average is about 250gig^. I'm going to build a PC with a 500gig HDD and 2gig RAM. 2 Terabytes^^ is a lot of storage, after formatting it can hold just under 500,000 songs (at 128k bitrate).\n\n\n*RAM- Random Access Memory\n\n**HDD- Hard Disc Drive\n\n^Gigabyte- 1024 megabytes\n\n^^Terabyte- 1024 gigabytes

Make sure you check that your computer can be upgraded  that much.check the stats on your make and model.Ebay would be a good place to check for ram though

Yeah, that computer is fine for what you are going to use it for.  I didn't see the specification on the size of the hard drive that comes with it.  Since you will be storing a lot of videos, you will want a lot of storage on your harddrive.  At least 30 gigabytes.  Just ask them when your going to purchase it and make sure that the hard drive is bigger than 30 gigabytes.

Depends upon what components and bundled apps you install.  Anything from a few hundred megs for a stripped down installation to over 2 gigs if you install everything including the kitchen sink.

maybe its time for a new computer or more space/memory

what ever one is on sale that has the storage you need.  There is little to nothing you will notice between the brands.  I would go with at least 300gb, or it can fill up way to fast

you would be better off using 2 500GB HDs or 4 250GB HDs. they are cheaper than a one tera HD.

well if you need it just for the applications that you wrote about any speed over 1GZ would be more than ennough,however you should keep in mind that these programs in their new versions require more and more resources so my advice is to go for at least 1.5 GZ and something like 256 or 512 RAM and at least 10 GB hard drive. I hope i helped you.

for windows XP or server 2003 AT LEAST 32MB... I suggest 64MB.  If you plan on doing any gaming at all I suggest 128MB.\n\nOn Linux, refer to your versions specification requirements as each version can vary.  In general, 32MB for most GUI interfaces, 8MB for most command line interfaces.

practically unlimited.  you can get a terabyte hard drive. (that's the largest that I've seen made so far)

Step.1 Throw out old PC.\nStep.2 Buy new PC\nStep.3 Welcome to 2006.\n\nThere is no amount of memory that you can add to an old system with only 12Mb of mem that will make it perform any better. Your PC is a tortouse and needs to be severely replaced; unless of course, you just use it as a space heater, then 12Mb should be fine....

There is a utility available on http://cnet.com where you can browse thru the available options as per your requirement.  The path is as follow:\nhttp://exactchoice.cnet.com/Type.aspx\nFor quick reference, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD and Windows XP SP2 should be fine for Home use.  Can buy any Acer, Dell, HP laptop.  They will be cheap and durable.

you need some more space on your pc are you need to delete something to make room it will run good if you do.

Nobody uses that much horsepower. Unless you are using the pc for a database that is accessed by thousands or something. Or into animation graphics. There is no need for 2 gigs of ram either. But if you are content on having it you should check out the Mushkin ram or Corsair best out there!

You might need more RAM

For specific components, it would really depend on what you plan on doing with the computer.  If you plan on doing a lot of heavy 3D gaming or video editing, you'd probably need a lot of RAM and hard drive space.  If you're just looking for something to type papers with and to go online, then pretty much anything out there might do you well.\n\nThe link below is a buying guide from cnet.com that might help you with more specific questions.

It depends on what you mean by museum piece. I have a perfectly good 6 yr old 8.75 gig with 65 meg of ram along with a 3gig with 35 both run well .You dont say how old your comp is or how big it is\nA well managed small old comp will last as long and run faster than a badly managed brand new comp with 100gig!
