for the love of god, get 256 or 512. with the current ram prices, it shouldn't really be a problem. you're putting XP in pain by giving it only 128.

Hey Baby, I'll install YOUR RAM, if you boot my Hard drive!

I completely agree, with RAM so cheap, I would upgrade to 256MB or 512MB for Windows XP. You won't be sorry.

For XP, the more the better.

actually...for any windows...more is better
anyways...128 mb of ram isnt horribly bad (double negative)...it'll work (but not ultra fast)...but at least it'll work (on a mediocre level).

I don't claim to know anything about everything, I just tell people what I know.

you could check on task manager to see if you're ram is getting gobbled up or not.
