So, the more RAM the better? What exactly is RAM?

Vista is too bugged for my preference... downgrade the OS to Xp... it will be safer for the time being.

Also, Ram is needed to operate the amount of programs. Ram is your memory... the more memory the more you can do. many programs require a certain amount of memory, 1gig is slowly becoming the norm.

most "new" laptops are upgradable to 4 gigs, some even more. I would start off at 1 and go from there... help offset the cost.
