Thanks Russ. The machine in questoin is my development laptop which has a max 2GB Ram, but i was persuaded when i bought it to go with 1GB. SILLY MOVE!! Because of the configuration of he chips the only way to upgrade RAM is to buy a whole 2GB in 2 chips and throw the 2x500MB chips away. Thank you DELL..
This is not a production machine and i'm the only person that uses it, but i dont think i'll go with VMs for this machine for now.
