I'm running 1Gb on my normal desktop with XP pro...it's sufficient, but just, if you've got swap disabled. Still gets bogged down sometimes, almost like it's trying to swap and getting frustrated because it's not allowed to. I'd be happier with 1.5 or even 2Gb of nice hot DDR333...these days, ram is cheap enough you can really load up a machine and not hurt too much.

The next question is RAM, I know more is better, but the access database file I'm using now is 120Megs and will stay about the same size. Do I need more than 1G, can I get by with 512M Ram? I will of course turn virtual memory off and will also be using this computer for file sharing and burning cd's as backup's - or using a tape drive.
