How much RAM will 14.04 need?


How much RAM would Ubuntu 14.04 need?


(Usage: A bit of pictureprocessing, maybe an IP-Camera Stream, ordinary officework, simplecv, some Torrentdownloading).


Is 4GB or 8GB better suited for me?



Min specs are posted here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements


I've always installed as much as possible, but a Linux OS is much lighter than Windows.
4GB would be more than enough for your purpose.


Ubuntu requires 512MB or more :)


I personally recommend you buy/install 8GB+ within your budget as it wouldn't be wasted. You never know what you'll be using the pc for in a few years time.
