512MB should be sufficient for that type of work. Things might run a  
little faster with more RAM.

I have a G3/900 MHz iBook with 640MB, and I've only bogged it down a  
couple of times (had what The Register calls "world + dog" open).

So see how it runs; if you're happy with the speed as-is, don't worry  
about upgrading right away. As you gravitate more and more to using  
the iBook constantly (which you *will* do, especially if you have an  
Airport card), you may want to re-think that.
