I recommend 1GB of RAM. My mom's laptop has 512MB RAM running Windows XP, and when I try to run Azureus, Winamp, Firefox, Trillian, and antispyware/antivirus apps on it, it pretty much slows down to a crawl. Maybe your mom won't be running so much at one time, but I would still consider 1GB, because DDR prices won't be going any lower. DDR2 is becoming more mainstream, especially with the relase of Socket AM2.


i agree. with DDR prices so low right now there is no reason to not have a gig of ram.

jus buy a gig now and that system will be covered for a while, who knows it may get another use later on other than what your mom is doing with it
