Do I need 16 mb memory or will 8 do with a i5-2500

[wimbledon]

I am thinking of buying the spec below. Main use is browsing and office apps. I do however do a little photo and video editing. I use Adodbe Premier elements for video editing. Although this is far from my main use when I do it I want it be reasonably fast.

I also routinely have two people logged in and we switch between login sessions (1 user at a time)

Any thoughts would be welcome

Neil

8GB of 1333mhz RAM will be fine, you could consider upgrading the graphics card though to a GTS450 for better performance.

To be honest, for "little photo and video editing" 4GB will be more than enough. 8GB will however be more future-proof.

Ye 4GB would be more than ample in my opinion, you can always buy teh extra 2x 2GB modules later on if you really need the extra RAM. I'd also go with the GTS 450
