Burning Crusade isn't a huge resource hog, however you'll certainly need more than 500MB of RAM. Our test system froze heavily when loading areas that were populated, with just 500MB of memory. The issues disappeared after we increased the memory of our system to 1GB. Upgrade to 2GB RAM may not be required however, it is worth considering in the event that you are planning to upgrade to Windows Vista. Microsoft's new OS comes with a massive memory footprint.
