My computer can handle up 500 mb of memory,

Even PC's made 10 years ago can handle 512 mb memory. Doesn't mean
their suitable for XP.

CPU speed and internal cache are important if we're dealing with such
ancient hardware.

And you're only running with 256 mb to boot.


I am actual running with less memory than that. I am not much of a
gamer. I use it mainly for paying bills, newsgroups, forums,
shopping, TV guide (Titan.com)


If you have less than 256MB, you have less RAM than most people need
for adequate performance. But you reinforce the view that how much
memory you need depends on what apps you run.
