My family is getting my much younger brother a netbook for Christmas, and I'm picking it out. The sweet spot as far as prices go is 1 GB of RAM, but I'm worried that it's not enough for what he does: youtube + flash games.
1 GB RAM enough for netbook

1GB is plenty for youtube/flash games.
It's not enough if you start having several programs or several browser tabs open at the same time. Eventually, he will want to do this, and so you'll eventually want that 2GB upgrade. But you can always add the ram later.
