For routine work:

XP works well with 1MB

Vista works well with 2MB

Windows 7 works well with 4MB

Less than those isn’t a great idea.

For heavy duty loads like various sorts of virtual machine usage, more is better, much better.

Well, I think you meant GB not MB, but I got your point. My machines are all Linux-based as I mentioned previously, but it helps to know what to recommend to people running the ‘doze OS.

“Vista works well with 2MB”

In your dreams maybe. Vista is a major RAM hog
