Captn, depends on how much else you'll be doing at one time. 64 may be adequate, but 128 should be ideal. 128 meg RAM sticks (3-4 individual RAM "sticks" can be installed per board) are a good place to start on a new system since price per meg is roughly the same as for smaller sticks--leaving more room for expansion and potentially less configuration headaches. Good 128 meg sticks should run $150-$250 each. the extra $80-125 over 64 megs would be $ well spent, even if you didn't "need" it for optimum performance most of the time.

Regards,

Dave

I echo what Dave said. I run NT and 128 meg and use RTIII and plenty of other apps, excel, multiple browser windows, multiple mIRCs, utilities etc. I don't think I would gain any speed from additional memory for this particular setup. IMHO 64 meg is the bare minimum for a decent performing NT box, depending on the what the use is. Go with a single stick 128 meg, you'll be happy and can add to it later if needed.
