pc/laptop

[Tek Ang]

Another thing to add regarding memory consideration is that if you are planning 
to use VirtualBox, my suggestion is to have enough memory to split between the 
primary OS (Ubuntu) and VirtualBox.

I can't remember a time I went over 800 mbs of use....unless I was running 
folding at home and using the computer. You can do a lot more with the system 
seeing as the core will run on 256 mb of ram

Lets just say with 2GB of ram...it will take a while before you start slowing 
down the system due to lack of memory
