141573 2003-05-05 23:09:00 I run xp with 384ram, and don't really have any problems at all. I can have winamp, norton firewall, antivirus, kazaa, pgp and counterstrike all going at once and still get 100ping and awsome game speed. :) PoWa (203)
141574 2003-05-06 01:10:00 I too have 384 of ram in my Hp that came with 128 in it. It was a doddle to put the legend 256 ram upgrade in and is fast enough now.

But listen to how noisy the HP you're looking at is, as I find this one has a really unpleasent high-pitched whine to it..

141575 2003-05-06 04:04:00 I would go with 512mb because it will help & and ram is cheap (512mb is < $150).

Remember you won't be able to add the stick yourself while its under warranty. You would have to pay them to do it which won't be cheap.

I know someone with an HP whos been stuck on 56mb because they have a 3 year warranty. Which is an awful long time

BTW, Installing XP on a 56mb machine is not a good idea, unless you want to be able to confuse the HDD & power lights :-).
