So? The recommendation to which I responded was to upgrade to 1GB. My
message was to agree with Shenan that that's probably overkill.

Whether she should upgrade her RAM at all I don't know, because I
don't know what apps she runs. However, noting that she has 54.77 MB
unused, my guess is probably not.

I disagree. Roxie now has 56MB of free physical memory - memory

stop some swap file usage, but if nothing changed and Roxie has freed

space on the hard disk drive - RAM is not the (only) issue.


I share your disagreement. In fact it is rare that anyone needs as
much as 1GB of RAM with Windows XP. Only if someone runs particularly
memory-demanding programs (such as photo- or video-editing) is it
likely that more than 512MB is needed (and not always that much
either).

What? Is that some sort of threat?

Ken's last sentence was: "However, noting that she has 54.77 MB unused, my
guess is probably not." What about it? Did you miss the word "unused"?
