System Info show Running 265 meg physical RAM, after
initial boot / log-in, physical RAM available = only ~75
meg, even this value varies from boot to boot. Questions:
What is ideal physical RAM? Product box indicate 128 meg
reccomemded, which appears to be incorrect.
Is there a way to make more physical RAM available?

Sounds about right.Depending on what you have running at
bootup,512mb of ram would be better.

You were probably looking at the "minimum requirements" for XP.
256MB is "OK", but 512MB is better.

This is based on something?? You want to run Excel with 1 GB????????
This just doesn't make sense. 512MB is more than enough for normal use.

I must be in really bad shape. I only have 256 MB on two systems and I video
edit, encode and develop software. One of them is a Media Center Edition.
