It depends on your system specs. For example XP needs more RAM to run than win98.

Are you sure? The size of the memory could be only (if not powers of 2) at least multiples of 2...

So it's 320 MB. That's sufficient, but an upgrade to 512 MB would be recommended.

Fine -- dont buy it -- just like he said.

And Mulak -- CEASE asking half-assed questions -- if you want help then make it easy for people to help you or you'll start to find threads being closed. This has not been the first time.
