512mb here too...although 4GB would be much nicer

but 512 is more than doable
Get a job or something, save the cash, use pricewatch.com, and get more RAM or new parts for a new computer

You could save at least $200 on a custom built computer that usually exceeds those found in places like BestBuy or Circuit City which charge $1000 and up...you don't even get a direct say in what you want half the time
