John, good article about Windows XP. According to market researcher Metafacts 58 percent of desktops and 60 percent of notebooks in use in the United States have 64MB of memory. Systems packing 128MB or more account for only 21 percent of desktops and 19 percent of notebooks. I wonder what the average processor speed is. Microsoft's Web site recommends a minimum 300MHz Pentium II processor and 128MB of RAM to run the Windows XP beta, up from a 133MHz processor and 64MB of memory for Windows 2000. I can vouch for the fact that W2K is a dog with 64 MB. If Microsoft recommends 300 MHz and 128 MB, better double both. Tony
