A gig of RAM for browsing the Internet? The Sims 2 will use it, sure, but nothing else will.

What operating system are you going to use?

Anything <b>less</b> than a Gig is a waste of time. Ram is so cheap these days, it's hard to even get hold of 512 sticks anymore

I would say a gig of RAM would be adequate, then. Anything more would be overkill, and anything less would be pointless. I asked on the chance you were moving to Vista, which would then mean you'd need at least 2 gigs to run things smoothly.
