How much ram do you really need these days?

Hi. I just bought a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (socket 748) barebones and I wondered what is standard for ram these days.

My old system had 768 ram (3x256) but this computer needs ddr of course and is only 2 slots. Is 512 ok or 1 gb ? Are 1gb pieces cheap enough anywhere to grab one of them and have room to upgrade?

I just realized why my mixes sound funky!

Bear with me hear.

On my last session I used the Brick on kick drum, acoustic guitar, bass, and vocals, and everything other than those tracks sound almost irritating, thin, and hollow! I went back to my older sessions with the Brick and noticed the same thing. .everything that didn't go through the Brick sounds hollow.
