Try it, you have nothing to lose except the pictures you'll be sending me! 
Very good point - I suppose the question is what do you use the computer for? I think 512MB is enough for average use, and you can usually pick up a stick of 256MB for under $30 after rebate from one or another big box retailer. If you're doing photo editing, video editing, etc. you'll probably want all the ram you can afford.
