[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 556059, member: 60724"] Wow, Q, you have the biggest IT penis of us all. Way to whip it out! :lol: I do agree that you need ample memory to run XP smoothly, but "at least 512MB" just hasn't been my experience, your's shows different and I respect that. But the "Performance" tab on Task Manager tells the real story. I have seen MOST computers I have worked on hover around 400MB of Mem Usage, and that's with a few browser windows and office apps running. I even said that given the very lost cost, there isn't much reason NOT to have 1GB on a system these days, and use that upper 512MB a minority of the time. But, you are right, its nice to have it there when you need it...it's just most people don't need it. The last system I built I put 1GB in...it screams. [/QUOTE]
