First, no amount of extra RAM is going to hurt performance unless Microsoft is doing something very twisted. Linux will happily use as much extra as you install. I find that 384MB is comfortable for most home desktops these days, but 512MB is pretty cheap, so go right ahead. -dsr- -- Network engineer / pre-sales engineer available in the Boston area. http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr
