I'd always go for 500mb these days. Memory is cheap as chips at the moment, so it's probably worth dropping in another 256mb.

Following on from my earlier post, when the machine locks up is your hard drive light flashing like mad ? If you've got loads of disk read/writes it could well be that you're short on memory and it's having to swap in and out from disk all the time.
