I suppose that would depend greatly on what you plan to do with the computer. However, that is nowhere near enough to run a modern operating system and programs.

Is 256 MB good for a computer?
Because I can't jump to conclusions on what you are trying to ask, I made some assumptions below: Assuming you are talking about RAM, it is not enough to run the latest build of Windows or Mac. At least 2 gig is the minimum unless you are using an older OS. BUT if you are talking about VIDEO RAM, then yes, 258 mb of video ram is enough. Assuming you are talking about disk space, 258 mb is not enough to handle the latest build of Windows or Mac.
How is it possible to run two programs at once that require 8 megabytes and 12 megabytes of RAM?
First, if you are using a computer that uses MB, go spend $100 on a used computer and you'll have something that has at least 1GB. As for your question, the amount of ram you have installed in a computer is not the only memory a computer can use. The actual name depends on the OS, but all computers have a section of the hard drive set asside to act as RAM. On a Windows PC it's called a Page File. The advantage is that you can use more ram then your computer has. The disadvantage is that it requires your computer to read, write, and rewrite this section of the drive over and over, which can be hard on the hard drive, and cause it to fail more quickly.
GI have a geforce 8600 gt 512 ram will it work if you had a computer ram of 512 mb or do you need to get a new ram?

What if your friend has discoverd he has 128 mb of ram installed in two slots on his motherboard that has four slots and supports dual channeling the board runs at 667 mhz and uses ddr2 non-ecc dimm?
I would say that something n the information is incorrect. I don't believe that there have ever been 64 MB or 128 MB DDR2 desktop DIMMs marketed, and I never encountered a desktop machine with DDR 2 RAM sold with less than 512 MB RAM. So either one or both of the RAM modules are defective or we don't have complete information.
