HB, As you are running XP, I do not think you will cause any problems with the amount of memory you have right now and add another 512 too. XP will lap it up. As I said I am sure I read some place that XP will work fine with either 1.5gb or memory, or it may even be as high as 3GB!! Either way you will not over load it and cause a slow down. As has been said, the 9x family does not like more than 512, and that should got for ME too. W2K and XP, love memory, as they are build to be feed on it!!! Have fun, and enjoy, Trevnal ----- Original Message ----- From: <HandsomeBlck@xxxxxxx> In a message dated 1/31/2004 7:00:44 AM Pacific Standard Time, trev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > I think XP allows and works with anything up to around 1 or 1.5 gb of > memory!!
