Essentially it
depends what you are going to be running a day to day basis. You right on
the
128 to 256 front ... that does make a big difference. Going past that, it
is
down to what you will be doing with your system.
I'm sitting
here
with 1.5 GB of RAM under XP and sometimes even that isn't enough. But I'm
running Premiere, HomeSite, Photoshop, IE, PC Anywhere, Maya and Outlook
all at
the same time; not your average user.
If you need
any
more advice, let me know.

I know from experience that
upgrading from 128 to 256Mb makes a big difference to Windows XP
performance
(especially if you tweak the cache settings). Does anyone have personal
experience (rather than anecdotal evidence) of going from 256 to
512?
Is it worth doing? The only
reason
I ask is that I run a high FSB on my system, and as a result the memory
needed
to do this (2700DDR RAM) comes in at just over a hundred quid a
stick).
