Hi.

I've always found 512 MB to be a good working figure for RAM on a Windows 
XP box.  If you are doing something really memory intensive, you might want 
to try 1 GB, but for most ordinary activity 512 MB is enough to ensure good 
stability and snappy performance.

I've found that with JAWS, it also seems to matter very much what you are 
running for a video card and a sound card.  Some of the on-board sound and 
video can really make JAWS perform much more poorly than a good 
multi-channel sound card and a video card with ample video RAM.
