I currently have 256 on my AMD xp 2600 running windows xp. The only time I get low is when I'm multi-tasking. I also have a 80 gig hard drive. I have plenty of software and still have 55 gig left. Right now I'm running a very cheap 64mb geforce. It definitely sucks. I think 128 is probably good enough. 256 is even better! Good Luck Tony
