How much memory is required for a 32-bit Windows 8 OS?

  1. 512MB

  2. 1GB

  3. 2GB

  4. 3GB

The correct answer is: 1GB

The 32-bit version of Windows 8 requires at least 1GB of memory (RAM) to run smoothly. Option A and C are incorrect because 512MB and 2GB are both less than the minimum requirement of 1GB. Option D is incorrect because although it is higher than the minimum requirement, it is not the most accurate answer. Therefore, B is the most suitable answer as it specifies the minimum and correct amount of memory required for a 32-bit Windows 8 OS.
