How much memory does iTunes take up on a 1GB laptop?

I'm getting an iPhone and you need iTunes in order to activate it. How much memory does iTunes take up on a 1GB laptop? Would I have enough memory left? I don't listen to A LOT of music, but I do like my music. When I get tired of some songs I do delete them and put new songs.

Itunes like most apple software are know for being quite the resourse hogs. I'm going to guess roughly a 100 megs.

OMG, you only got 1gb of ram, but seriously itunes should be fine on your computer.

Itunes uses alot of memory. At times i've seen my peak at like 500-600MB of ram usage…
So really with itunes and windows, you don't have much ram left to spare for other tasks.

And i think you are confusing ram (memory) and hard drive space… Music doesn't use ram (memory), it uses hard drive space. If you really only have a 1GB hard drive, then your computer is far too old to even install itunes on, as you are likely running windows 95 lol
