yeah that barely enough to run win XP (get XP it helps, the drivers are better and ME is crap)
In todays world you need 512, and if you serious about gaming 1gb of it

ergh you need more of computer man. I havea Compaq Presario 2510 with amd-k 6 333 on a 255 intell board and 64 megs of ram. Unfortunatley for you compaq is a FUCKING BUNCH OF ASSHOLES, and probly only left you upgradable to 512 ram. You will want to check but i betcha
 unless your alread maxed at 256 wich wouldnt surprise me. Either way you need one gig to play without big problems. The minimum system requirments are always the Minimum you can have in a system to play, you should always consider that to be how much free ram you want to be able to run it to though, same with recommended. The recommended is never the needed to play easily, it is the lower/mid recomendation and you once again want to have this free to play at moderate qaulity. You generally want to take into account how much the recommended is over the required, in this case double, so you want to double again to hit hte maximum. if the required was 256 and the recomended is only around 320 then you will probly only ever need 384 in your system depending on hte type of game. But you should always go beyond and take it to be what your likely to have free to use it. In this case about a gig and a half to play without problems, id imagine, and maybe more because of planetsides open ended design. But 1 gig should be sufficient to have very low lag for when it gets more intensive in the game, and obviously none in lesser situations.

Ok you need pc-100 rm witch you can get for cheap at any local comp place. In your situation i migh save teh money and put together a new computer in a while, yours is getting outdated, one thing, do not buy a computer you can get in a store they generaly are crap and have specs that are CPU heavy and Hd heavy to appeal to the people that don't know much about this stuff, and the rest of the comp is not that good. Dell and gateway are better but i don't recomend them unless you are not smart enough to figure out how to plug things in(also good for bargain bind type computers as they sell the low end computers very cheap) these are companies that put FX5200's in the So called "Gaming Computers" (see dinmension XPS). The next step up from then are aplaces liek Alienware and other high end computer places, but these are normaly expensive.
I gig and a half is over kill in gamin, alost you cant do dual channel if you have 1.5gigs best to get 2 sticks of 512. More than a gig is basicaly server sized ammounts of memory. But i woudl say that 512(2x 256) of ddr533 would outdo a gig(2x 512) of ddr400 in ps
