Now THOSE are realistic Gb size for the hard drive.
But that RAM is still silly. Do you know if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows? If you have 32 bit (which the greater majority of people still do) then you aren't using those 8Gb anyway because the 32 bit system doesn't see more than 3.2-3.5Gb in total. If you have 64bit, then 8Gb is as much as most people put in - the greater majority of my customers are 2-4Gb. Vista Home Premium 32 bit can run well on 2Gb, or make do on 1Gb. Vista Ultimate 32 bit is fine on 4Gb.
I don't know what that tech is on about with her "5Gb of RAM just for it". Doesn't fit with what I know.
