everything took ages the rig was completly bogged
then i chucked a 1gb 667mhz stick that was lying around in with it 3gb total (single channel)
@ 720mhz and it was super quick u would not belive the increase in speed considering the ram specs dropped horribly everything was sooooo responsive
then i took the 1gb stick out & stuck the other 2gb gskill in 4gb total
(dual channel) @1100mhz & saw no improvement over the 3gb in single channel
so i belive it needs alot of ram .....though there are many who run it on 2gb with no issues but these were my own experiences with the OS
