Depends.  For DOS stuff, pretty much no.  For Windoze, possibly.
Check the memory requirements for your software and guess how much you'll 
need.  Note:  You can "get away" with not having enough memory by using
virtual memory but it will he hella slow.  IMHO, tolerable amount of
Windoze memory is 4 megs but 8 megs is more desirable.

200+ meg drives are getting cheap now.  If you can, go for those instead if
you feel that 130 meg is insufficient.
