Let me understand, is this guy saying that MS is saying that a PIII is the minimum, (as opposed to PII or less) ???? for XP. I think he's putting it in terms of what is currently available for new purchase. Also, the author of that long article says Microsoft is putting up high system requirements (for Microsoft, who usually lowballs the HW so it looks like their new SW runs OK on the biggest possible base, that's unusual). Microsoft is listing the minimum system requirements for Windows XP as a Pentium III processor with 64 MB of RAM, though they do recommend 128 MB of RAM. Tony
