Yes, but 256MB of it's shared to the video card, so you effectively have 768MB, which I believe is considered low.

If you know the guy, and it didn't fall off the back of a truck, $350 is a good price for that laptop. You could certainly resell it for more than $350 on ebay.

Yeah, $350 is a decent price for that laptop. However I agree that it would be painful to run Vista on it without throwing another gig of RAM at it. Just realize that most likely you'll have to buy the whole 2GB, as most laptops come with their RAM slots full. Taking that into account, the price tag is creeping up towards a low-end Core Duo with a 15" display.
