You are right that the world wants more memory. The demand does not seem as great to me as it does to other observers. People I speak to as suppliers and buyers are not buying that much more, apart from the normal sustained growth in bits per machine.

There is a lot of press given to XP's desire for memory. My experiences suggest these reports are exaggerated. 256MB is sensible for a normal desktop but 128 MB works fine. No change from Windows 2000 in that respect. Due to the way XP uses memory, it may appear that more memory is in use, but as you make additional demands, memory gets freed up and there is no problem. The perception of the need for more memory will translate to some more sales, but corporate buyers are sophisticated enough to run the necessary tests themselves and make their own conclusions.
