I agree with you there, I have 2 PC's, and the one with 512 MB is much faster, especially when you use WinXP. |

I disagree. I have 256 DDR with a 1500mhz athlon xp 1800 running XP, and mine runs beautifully. I run loads of programs such as Reason2 fireworks, flash and a ftp server 24/7 and many more.

you should still get 512 megs... |

I'd get more then 256MB ram. Reason being, it won't cost that much and it will help you in the longrun. Just a word of advice, don't run Windows 98SE or Windows XP if you plan on putting in alot of ram. They have poor memory managers. Get 2k! :D
