RAM is like the work surface on your computer. If you have an extremely small work surface then you are slow and inefficient because you are constantly shuffling stuff around. Same with the computer. Although if you have a really large work space and you don't really need it then you aren't really more efficient at all. With different versions of windows you need different amounts of RAM to make the computer run at optimum speed.

Different Operating Systems and the Optimum RAM Requirements:

Windows XP: 512MB-1GB

Windows Vista: 2GB-4GB

Windows 7: 2GB-6GB

Ubuntu 9.04: 384MB-1GB
