The more graphics intensive, the more memory is used.

An image editor will use a lot of memory IF you open and edit a large file.

CADD programs use a lot of memory WHEN you have complex drawings.

Even Word can use a lot of memory when you have a large document.

Agreed. The more graphic intensive a program or more process intensive such as Autocad or any drawing graphic design or video etc. Also, if you are gaming having more memory is always better and if you can afford more mem, go for it. Remember that XP requires 128MB if I am not mistaken and that is minimum. I would recommend try to have at least 256MB if you are running XP.
