4GB is enough for everything except crysis.
For crysis 8 GB is enough.
64bit needs to become the standard.

You definitely need over 4GB if you are intent on virtualisation, hyper multitasking and maya/photpshop.

3GB enough for running a single virtual computer with vista x64. I am not into virtualisation. I just use it for testing purposes. I use MS Virtual PC. I generally do 1 thing at a time with batch processes running in the background. The number of my batch processes is limited by number of hard disks and processing power and not by RAM.

And you intend to do that on these cheap ultra-useless (read: portable) laptops?
