RE: RE: Platform vs. Performance

I'm running 1Gb on my normal desktop with XP pro...it's sufficient, but
just, if you've got swap disabled.  Still gets bogged down sometimes,
almost like it's trying to swap and getting frustrated because it's not
allowed to.  I'd be happier with 1.5 or even 2Gb of nice hot
DDR333...these days, ram is cheap enough you can really load up a
machine and not hurt too much.

First, Thanks for all replies, I'll be going with XP Pro on a P4
machine.  The next question is RAM, I know more is better, but the
access database file I'm using now is 120Megs and will stay about the
same size.  Do I need more than 1G, can I get by with 512M Ram?  I will
of course turn virtual memory off and will also be using this computer
for file sharing and burning cd's as backup's - or using a tape drive.

Thanks Again!
