Ram is measured in bits and bytes in logical amounts, such as 128 mb, 256 mb, 512 mb.. and so on and so forth.

The amount of RAM needed depends on the actions being used on the computer. Basic e-mail, web Surfing and light gaming are likely fine with 2 gigs of ram. Four would offer a noticeable speed increase due to less dependence on swap space/temp files.

If you plan on doing video editing, audio editing (not listening, editing) or heavy gaming or lots of multitasking and Virtual machine work then more ram is almost always better.

Keep in mind that 4gb of ram is the maximum addressable amount for a 32bit operating system. Going beyond that will require a 64bit OS in order to take advantage of more physical RAM.

Hope that helps!
