It really depends on what your definition of 'plenty of' (memory disk space
etc) means. Some people think, 256 is sufficient RAm for XP.. (it isn't)
depends on what you have running in the background or foreground for that
matter.. Depends on your CPU too. AND, If you have winamp, for example, and
some graphics intensive or memory intensive apps running all at once, plus
lottsa little icons in your systray etc etc, your PC may be slow. It isn't
Windows XP, it's whatever you have running or have installed on your HD that
might be running 'tho not on the desktop so to speak.
