Depends on what you're going to use the computer for. If you enlightened
us as to how you plan to use the computer, we can give you a more
informed answer.

More proof that VISTA is dumbing down computer users. If you have to
ask a question like that you are too stupid to own a computer.

vista uses extra ram as a cache keeping programs that it uses frequently in
that cache for the next time you run it..
therefore the more ram you have the better
that said, for computer for everyday use will see a small increase in performance but for a computer doing graphics you absolutely need more ram than 2 gb...
vista is a very fat and boated OS... and it depends on much ram to get its fat arse moving...
for the vista loving trolls who deny this, please let them remove the extra ram they have and let them use only 512 mb ram
XP would runs "ok" with 512mb meaning that you can use it for some tasks, but vista strains under its own weight.

Just telling the truth. People ask a lot of questions they can't or
won't like the answers to.
If you don't like it, kill file me.
It was cross posted to a design newsgroup where we don't cater to idiots.
Personally, I would locate the motherboard specs and stuff it to the limit with the fastest memory it can use.
OK, how many gig is best on my Commodore 128 with the OS in ROM? My S-100 systems? Do I really need more than 1 k of RAM? How about the Intel Multibus computers in the shop? Or the Motorola Exorcisor computers or VME boxen?
I AM crazy. Anyone who denies being crazy is admitting to being insane.
I spent two years stuck in bed. I only have a couple productive hours per day, yet I haven't given up. I am a 100% disabled US Army Veteran, and I use humor to take the edges off the all too often bad days. Have you ever had to deal with a conceited VA nurse who thinks she is a doctor? Has bad medical advice come close to costing you both legs?
My mother died of Colon cancer decades ago. Her motto was "Crazy is not being afraid to laugh at the world when it kicks you in the teeth." Take that any way you want to. She suffered a year of pain and side effects of her treatment, but did her best to keep her sense of humor.

XP barely crawls with 512 MB of RAM if the all the 'Windows updates'
are installed.

Geez - that is sure depressing! I've seen Linux installs that breeze
along quite handily with 256mb.

XP works fine with 512 MB of RAM if it's RAM that's better than pc-100
or 133.

You cannot really say that. IT depends on what applications you want to
run and how many you want open at any one time. Besides we all know that
Windows is a very inefficient OS and does a poor job of multitasking
applications.

Not really true. If your system is using 1GB then how is 4GB twice as
good as 2GB and if you are doing database (IO Bound) memory does not do as
much as if you are number crunching.

In some cases 2gb is better. Setting aside half the address space for
memory mapped I/O can make for a better system. If you put 2bg on a
24MHz version of the 8051, and make it address 2gb of external RAM is
will out perform a 4gb, 4GHz quad core machine with graphics
accelerator running Vista. Part of the problem is that Vista uses the
bogosort routine to sort the PIDs to find the next task to give a time
slice to but the 8051 just uses the JMP @A+DPTR
If you are doing graphics on your PC, you should stop right now. PCs are for doing spreadsheets.

Try doing multiple tasks with it. You can install XP with 128 MB,
but try using it if you install the updates.
I used to run a Commodore 64 with 38911 bytes of RAM.
The embedded 68340 processor controlling the equipment used for audio, video, & data uplink to the ISS has 64K * 16 EPROM, and 2k * 16 SRAM and a 16 MHz CPU clock

If you don't mind excessive use of the swap files.
