are you planning to use this computer as a server in the future or not?

When I got this computer (traded work for it) it had a degraded array. It came with all the software. I just rebuilt it with the software (small business server 2003) it came with. At this point, I will not be using it as a server and what to disable any un-needed services (using up RAM), but at the same time, I want everything to function correctly. Bottom line, if I have to purchase more RAM I will.

if you are just going to be doing emails and navigating the net, then you could stick with 1gb. otherwise i would upgrade that memory to at least 2gb if you could. but i mean, is up to you. :P
