My memory is gone

[Danny Boy]

Just Windows XP takes up about 180MB ram to run. Then
there is the little programs runing on the background
(anti-virus software for example). 256MB ram would be a
standard to run Win XP, But if you play games or run video
editing software or such, you probably want to add 256MB
more ram at least.
