I thought XP used like 512mb ram to itself. That's what I had heard..

I believe it's just recommended to have (insert value here) ram on XP systems. Just like it's recommended to have (insert value here) on Vista-running systems. My sister has XP on a 256 mb ram PC (this one originally ran with win2000) Of course, she doesn't do much else than Word/Excel/Firefox, but it works nicely.

I'm on 256 ram and I can get away with having a stupid amount of tabs on firefox, though VLC player does slow my computer down to a crawl once thats been used

I just realised, my grandad used to run XP fine on a Duron 1.3 w/256MB ram perfectly.
My uncle used to run XP fine on a duron 1.3 with 190MB ram perfectly.
I run XP quite nicely on a P4 and 1GB RAM.

The rumours sorrounding XP's RAM usage have been greatly exagerated.

At least, to you.

DVD+R DL DVDs are the best

On the old computer in my bedroom, windows XP uses 160 MB of RAM all alone with no other programs opened. I've got a lot of the windows stuff, especially the stuff involving printing and internet, disabled.

I can't afford dual layer DVD+Rs, I'm assuming you get them from the trash?

sry no, yo ucan only get the burning hardware from the trash. the disks you ahve to buy new. where i live its 11.99 for 3 DL DVD+R disks but they come with full jewl cases and are made from a super dense plastic instaid of standard CD material

Discs suck all together. When I get ADSL, I've decided I will have an external drive for each subfolder I have in my media folder now. They are easy to keep organized and I'll be able to add and remove stuff heaps more easily.

I'll have a drive for Ebooks, Movies, games, music, apps, TV, emulation and Audio books.

Actually I might keep movies on discs.

I'm trying to track down an easy way to burn video to DVD so my DVD player can play them. I want to watch Quantum Leap on TV.

I have to burn Xbox games to DVD+Rs, since my Xbox only has an 8GB hard drive.
