Joel,
I routinely run multiple konquerors, firefox, thunderbird, kate,
multiple console windows and open office on 10.2 and I rarely exceed
870K of memory. I have been more than happy with 1G in that situation.
See below:
top - 08:04:03 up 34 min, 4 users, load average: 0.10, 0.13, 0.11
Tasks: 107 total, 1 running, 106 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 1.2%us, 1.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 97.2%id, 0.7%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si,
0.0%st
Mem: 1035320k total, 483276k used, 552044k free, 16436k buffers
Swap: 2104472k total, 0k used, 2104472k free, 324472k cached
However, I would qualify that by saying if you only have 2 memory slots
that you can either fill with (2) 512k of (2) 1g chips, I would buy the
2 1g chips to prevent buying the the 512ks now and the 1gs later if you
needed to add ram later.
