Is 1GB of DDR2 Ram enough?

Is it enough?, no serious gaming. But everything else

Absolutely. For XP, 512MB is really all you need for just basic word processing and web browsing, but 1GB does well to keep things moving well.

For Vista, 1GB would be the minimum I would run. I am on Vista right now with 512MB, and if you have more then a few tabs open in IE, have msn running, and try to open up media player or anything you're maxed out completely.

here is a preview public release of Vista, it is not the retail version so you might find bugs in it and I wouldnt use it at my primary OS until at least the first service pack.
hope you have a fast connection and a lot of time to download hehe (its about a 3GB .ISO file).

A quick question:

Im planning a computer to run VISTA and Im conpemplating between these 2 options:

1. E6600 - 1GB 800Mhz RAM

2. E6400 - 2 GB 800Mhz RAM

Both these systems will have the 7600GT. Im wondering which one is better? I play a fair bit of games =]
