    512MB is the recommended amount to have, much above that won't really affect your game performance, 1GB will help Digital Video editing, not so much games though.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    256 MB of RAM is fine. Most people don't use more than 256 MB.

    512 MB of RAM will be enough for most systems well into the future (atleast a year... if not more, there's no real foreseeable need for that much RAM unless you do some type of rendering process, video editing, CAD, etc).

    256mb for non-XP systems and 512 for an XP system I reckon.

    I'm on 1gb.

    I'm on 2GB, I dought my system ever needs to use the whole thing but it comes in use full for things that use loads of RAM, example: I can get Win Sound Recorder to create a 45min buffer fully in memory. Why I would want to make one that big I don't know though, but my PC should at least be future proof for a while now .
