For a long time the standard used to be 512 MB. But now with Vista, advanced applications, and extreme graphics, gaming, and multimedia, the minimum requirement for RAM is atleast 1 GB. 1 GB is still only for basic computer needs though. If using advanced applications such as computer aided design, video or photo editing, or gaming, 2 GB of RAM should be sufficient. With a new windows operating system on the verge of appearance (in 2009) 3 GB would probably not be a bad way to go either (especially if your into a lot of multimedia).
