assuming you are buying an XP computer, the more memory the better. Even though XP can run with 256, you will not be happy unless you get up to 512MB. Memory prices are relatively cheap, so let your budget decide what you can afford, but I'd go with as much memory as possible
I'm about to buy a new computer. Would I be better off with 512 mb RAM or 256 RAM with a 128 RAM memory stick?
Thanks
