With anything over 512 you can disable disk paging.  Makes a BIG difference. (it does to me)

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).
