For just JAWS, you should have no problem with 1Gb. But in general, get the absolute memory you can cram into any computer. RAM is so cheap, it's a crime to not buy as much as will be used by the OS.

Should I upgrade to 2gb or will Jaws run fine with 1gb. Also, my internet Explorer starts up really slow, why might this be.
