I have 512 MB Ram of which the average 'free RAM is'247MB - my O/S is Windows XP. Is this enough RAM for editing scanned photos in tiff form( these can be 20MB plus individually) or should I upgrade to 1GB - or even MORE?!

I've used my laptop for some pretty heavy image editing and it was fine at 256M with 2M shared.

512M should be fine. On anther computer, I would edit images without virtual memory on(it had 512M) I never ran into a problem(well, with image editing... Farcry didn't like it though :P)

You'll be fine :) Worst case, you use 20M to scan it in and then save it to the HDD and then youll free that 20M :)
