Your virtual memory problems can likely be solved one of 2 ways (both 
cheaper than a new PC).
1) Adjusting the memory settings in the system area of the control panel.
2) Buying some extra memory and installing it an an empty slot in the 
machine.

  True,  but  there are other problems:  usb 2 scanner backward compatibility 
to usb 1.1  and either a defective printer or defective parallel port which 
could be solved with a usb 2 printer.   The present pc is over four  years old  
 and there is a potential battery problem.   SP2  is compatible with my 
peripherals;  vista may not be.   Actually  the compatibility  problem is not 
the scanner but portabe hard drive.  A new PC  would have a combined cd  r/w,  
dvd double layer r/w  which brings the price down.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
