This depends on what type of RAM you use and what os you use.  256MB minimum i would initially say right now.

RAM allows the computer working space in which it can carry out it's processes.

RAM is not a miracle cure, but only a part of what makes a system work.

A computer capable of running a complex flight sim for instance, needs to be a balanced powerhouse of computing strength, with a fast CPU, Plenty of RAM and a good video display system, running on a decent mainboard which supports advanced features.

If you post your complete and detailed system specification, maybe someone here can suggest what will help your particular configuration. Don't spare the details.
