The RAW will take up a lot more memory in it's uncompressed format compared with JPEG. For 10Mp camera expect 12Mb - 15Mb per frame. It's worth investing in at least 8GB or 16GB cards as they're not that expensive now. 32GB is best value per GB in Asia at the moment and I'm sure that will be the case in a few weeks time in UK also if not so already.
If you edit in RAW your file will not degrade on each manipulation as JPEG does.
My theory is to always shoot on the best settings you possible can - to heck with the amount of memory needed. Even if you are not that bothered about editing now you might be in the future and you can never re-take that picture!
