The amount of memory required by a computer system depends upon the main functions that the system will be expected to preform.

A standard desktop system only being used for internet and office use could happily work with a low amount of memory. If it where running Windows XP then 256MB would be enough memory for these functions.

A desktop system that is intended to be used for purposes such as video editing and gaming however would require significantly more memory. A system running windows Vista and intended for gaming would require a minimum of 2GB (2048MB) to function smoothly.

Systems such as servers that are intended to handle huge amounts of data would not be uncommon with memory in excess of 16GB. Supercomputers will have several Terabytes of memory available.

Yes. Virtual memory is used when there's not enough RAM in your system. It's just hard drive space that the PC sees as RAM. It is much much slower than RAM though. You could run out of memory if you are running enough programs that your use up all your RAM and your virtual memory is used up.

If a program is using too much of system resources and bogging down?

The reason that a program is using too much memory is the way it is programmed or written. A solution to this is to quit or shut down the program and restart it. If there is still not enough memory then increasing the amount of memory on the computer will help. Another reason that a program is using too much memory is a virus is running on the computer. Like a human virus the computer virus is very bad news. There are still some computers that make it easy to catch a computer virus. Removing the virus will make the computer run much better.
