Just as another data point: The 2GB I put in my backend saved me quite a 
few crashes when everyone was having the issues MythTV and DVB-S signals 
about a year ago.

If you are buying new parts, the dollar difference between 256 & 512 is 
too small to not do it.  If however you are building this out of parts 
you already have, then try the 256 and upgrade if you need it. 
Personally I'm with Graeme and have put 1GB (2 x 512) in my second box.
