You should have at least 256M of RAM, 512 would be better. Make sure that you patch everything to avoid the plagues out there.

By patching, I mean updating your site with security patches and also 2000 service packs. Try here:

that is a constant hassle with any microsoft served site, simply the amount of upkeep on the security side of things
