Interesting, I would disagree.  I think that 512MB is adequate if 
you're not doing serious graphics work or such.  The only time I think 
about more RAM is when I'm using Photoshop Elements 3 (or whatever its 
called these days).

I have a TiBook 667 with 512MB RAM and installed (my Apple-shipped copy 
of) Tiger last night.  Backed up first, then just did an Archive and 
Install.  I didn't notice any difference in speed from Panther.3.9 for 
Mail or any of the apps I played with.  I haven't really had time to 
stress-test it yet, but that will happen this weekend.  I just had to 
apply a couple of third-party software updates (Clear Dock and APE), 
change my login photo, and I that's it.  After reading on MacFixit 
about all the issues that folks have been having, I was more than a 
little worried about installing Tiger.  So far, I have not had any of 
the problems mentioned there.  *touch wood*

Just my first impressions.
