Perhaps school districts have guidelines for memory requirements of
purchased software as well as upgrade/retire memory requirements for
computers in place. That is, your contacts might be able to steer
you to district policy that helps.
My guess is that most computers in schools were purchased 4 years ago
(with 20-year bonds) and have memory for OS+Word or OS+Photoshop.
So, maybe 2G? This is just a very wild guess.
I run 4-5 year old computers (HP Compaq) with 1 GB RAM each and Linux,
and find that
I can comfortably run OS + GIMP + LibreOffice + Thunderbird + Firefox.
Interestingly enough, I tried one of them with Windows XP and Photoshop
CS 2 (Free)
and managed Firefox as well.
So, I'm not sure about the above.
I can ask them, they might know what the general setup is. Suppose
there is only 2G of RAM. There will be lots os disk swapping, right?
But nothing will actually blow up?
We can say they need to run on a machine with more RAM, but we
probably shouldn't crash and burn. Any idea if 4G RAM would be okay
for a setup like I describe? I really have no clue about this stuff.
