What is a good size memory capacity for a Midget office computer?

We are purchasing new computers for our Midget insurance office and are wondering what memory size would be good. Any siggestions? Most of our work is done by internet but there are a few programs that we have to install. Thanks!!

1. Do you mean RAM or hard drive space? also, what version of windows?
2. First of all....DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT get Windows Vista. Especially for an office. Get XP Professional and I would say 1 GB of memory is fine to support the servers. Keep in mind how much memory the video cards will eat up as well, depending on whether or not it is independent or shared memory.
3. 512 MB is Sufficient for ur Midget business and it will work fine for surfing internet and intalling any programs.
4. 1 GigaByte is so cheap now-a-days, there is no reason not to install that much. 2 GB would be overkill for your situation. .
5. it matters what the computer is for but if u need to hold alot of files on it then id suggest at least a 200 gig
6. The more the smoother the overall system performance.
7. If your thinking about RAM then get 1GB. If you thinking about storage than I would talk to an IT manager about that.
8. Well for a business i would go with a big hard drive. and ram i would go with either 512MB Or 1Gig. depends on how fast and smooth you want things running. 2Gigs for this job would be unnecessary.
9. I would suggest u to buy a PC with RAM not Midgeter then 1GB. If u can it is better to get a PC with greater memory but it depends on what operating system u will use !
10. 500 gig hard drives and 2 gigs of ram, then you should be fine whatever os and progs you choose.
11. doesnt matter, if you ned more, go buy external hard drives, a terabyte, of memory is pretty easy to come by nowadays.
12. Purchase the most you can afford, as there will come a time when you will regret not buying two GB. You can purchase 4 GB of memory for $90 right now (which is overkill) but I would not go with anything less then 2GB for office computers. If your employees are anything like the ones I support, then they will be running ten apps at the same time. Remember, not matter what amount of memory you purchase, not all of it will be available for the operating system and the applications to use. A portion of it will be used by the hardware, and there is nothing you can do to change that. With 4 GB installed, there will be only 3.2 GB available for use for Windows and the applications. A similar percentage reduction will be seen whether you have 1, 2 or 3 GB installed. 2GB should be your base starting point because of this. If you are talking storage then 100GB seems to be the standard now for hard drives in new systems.
