There are lot's of things you can use buckets of RAM for, not just games. I run serveral virtual machines at once sometimes - 1GB RAM is VERY useful there, 2 even more so.
My machine is a P4 3.0GHz, intel mobo, 1.25GB of RAM, 120GB HDD, DVD burner, 400W True Power(tm) PSU, digital sound (onboard), RADEON 9250 128MB video, Avermedia TV card (analog), 17in TFT, Creative Cambridge Sound Works surround sound system.

Indeed,more the RAM its better. I often fill my RAM by multitasking alone. and remember vista will eat your RAM,i reckon 2Gb or even 4G RAM will be needed by vista for multitasking and gaming.

There's far too many reasons for a PC slowing down to mention them all here, but the three biggest culprits are probably
- Too many apps and / or services running in the background. Use MSCONFIG to do a 'clean' boot (safe mode is not clean enough) and see if it runs any quicker If it does, it's time for a clean up or, for best results, a back-up and reinstall.
- Malware (viruses, spyware etc). Sometimes, just one piece of malware can make your PC crawl.
- Hardware issues, usually the hard drive. If the hard drive is beginning to fail, the computer will have trouble reading and writing data. Rather than just giving up, the PC will keep on trying resulting in slow operation, hanging, sticky mouse pointer etc.
Like I said, there's tons of reasons for a slow PC but they're the most common causes I see in the workshop. You also have to take into consideration that you have a Celeron processor which, due to a smaller level 2 cache, is not as good at multitasking as a Pentium 4 of the same speed.

lightscribe enables you to create professional looking CD lables by directly laser-etching the design onto the top of the CD itself.
A better explaination and instructions for using it here:
