Depends what your using it for.
If your using it for programs etc. then you want to use min 512mb ram.
If your using it for games you want to use 1-2 gb of ram! For good gameplay.

A lot of you really don't know how to rough it do you?

"Programs" covers a lot of stuff. From notepad, (which would run on an average computer from 15 years ago) to enhanced CGI graphical design programs, that they use on films, which can need 2Gb of RAM to work at minimum.

For average computer programs, like word, music, and some old games; anyone can get away with 128mb (or even 64mb). Just as long as you ration the amount of stuff you have running at once.

512mb of DDR RAM will easily play many of the high spec games that are out at the moment. 1gb would obviously seem better, but for now its nearly pointless.
