I'm currently using 512 mb ram and it's insufficeint so i'll be upgrading to a minimum of 1GB ram and if i get lucky my parents will get me a 2 GB RAM if the university results come out well

I think of it as your desk working area. The bigger the desk, the more easily you can grab papers and look at it.
Otherwise, if your desk is too small (less RAM), you have to file the paperwork, in a file cabinet (harddisk) and when you want to see that paper again, you have to get up and fetch it from the cabinet. It takes longer.
The computer processor loves to have a a lot of RAM, remember where the 'papers' are by an address number, and not have to 'fetch' things from the storage cabinet (harddisk).
Now-adays for a new computer, 512 "megs" is OK for Windows XP, or maybe 1 "gig" worth of memory (twice 512). I run Win XP on a Pentium II, with 128 megs. I strip out all the services, no virus checking, etc. and the 'footprint' for the operating system for memory usage is just 77 megs, - leaving about 50 megs left for Internet Explorer, or MS Word. That seems to work fine.
