Questions:

How much memory should a computer that is running Windows XP have? Microsoft states that Windows XP requires at least 256 MB of RAM, however simply running antivirus software on a computer with only 256 MB of RAM will grind a computer to a halt.

How much memory should a computer that is running Windows Vista or 7 have? As a general rule you should have at least 2 GB of RAM.
