RAM, which stands for Random Access Memory, is the memory in your computer that allows you to run programs. The more RAM you have, the more programs you can have open without seeing a drop in performance. For light use 512MB should be fine on Windows XP but 1GB or more is preferable in Windows Vista, especially if you plan to listen to your favourite album whilst using Word and browsing the internet at the same time.
512MB of RAM is equal to 0.5GB or Gigabytes.
1024MB of RAM is equal to 1GB or Gigabyte.
2048MB of RAMis equal to 2GB or Gigabytes.
