My home XP-Pro 'workstation' started with 256 MB back in 2003. A couple years later I spent another $95 to add 512 MB. That 768 MB worked fine until a couple months ago when I moved my Linux server from a dedicated box to a VMWare virtual system on the XP box. A bit of fine tuning on the memory allocation mimized the swapping of the XP applications but it was easy to tell both systems were on the edge of useful with the limited resources. Last Friday I picked up a brand new 1 GB stick of memory from my favorite neighborhood computer store ComputerStop and installed it this morning. XP is much happier now...
PS. DDR 2700 with a 333 MHz clock rate - how's that for smoking speed in 2008?
