    windows usually needs 256mb to run decent if you do not have alot of intensive programs 512mb should be fine.

    256Mb is the recommended minimum. You don't really need 512Mb if you aren't playing games. However, 512Mb is nice to have in case you want to have a few programs running at the same time.

    Hi:

    256MB if you want to have WindowsXP
    512MB if you want to do anything with it.

    Happy trails,
