Minimum memory will always effect an operating system - you have too little
and it can't function properly - but having 256MB or 1GB makes no difference
to resource memory - also, if you're using memory hungry apps (like
PhotoShop) then they'll sap the RAM of the machine slowing down other apps

True, perception is everything

Tell me about it - my machine at home is NT Server, Me and 98 - I enjoy
using NT as it's steady as a rock, but opening up the other OSes and you'll
see it die all over the place...
