Thanks for the XP article, Mark. I was able to get more information out of that article than 30 minutes on the newsgroup.

I am one of the first 20,000, and microsoft told me originally that I would get cds in the mail sometime in April. Sounds like that is still viable.

Like any version of Windows NT, Windows XP is RAM hungry and will eat whatever you throw at it. And, like previous
releases, the amount of RAM is more important than the processor version: I'd choose a Pentium II 400 with 256MB of RAM over a Pentium 4 with 64MB of RAM any day.


Interesting comment. I wonder at what level the cap is for extending performance. 128? 256? 384? 512? Ram is cheap now, but still I hate to waste it.
