Also, RAM free isn't the true indication of total memory useage of XP (or 2K or NT). All OSs swap out some RAM to HD when it's almost full or full. For Win98SE with a few toolbar applets loaded, I find that on my L110, it boots and is ready to go with about 1/2 (32MB) RAM used, the other 32MB free, and no swap file space in use at all. For XP/2K/NT users, you must examine the total RAM + swapfile in use to know how much memory it actually hogs up, not just total RAM - RAM free. In any case, stability depends on what you do and what you use and how you've got everything setup and backedup. For myself, win98se + all the windowsupdate.microsoft.com patches + IE 5.5 SP2 fully imaged to CD-R with Ghost. Then, install all the other apps one after another until they're all in, setup settings, then another full backup to CD-Rs. Crashes rarely occur, if ever. And when they do too often, it's a mere matter of restoring a perfectly working image from CD-Rs in a few minutes (takes care of any viruses, hacks, and so forth as well). Peace of mind since you never have to spend another couple days reinstalling everything from scratch if the HD gets nuked. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
