Hi, Ari. The reason is that Win 2000 and XP are system resource hogs. Microsof says that the minimum is 128 MB of ram, but I can tell you from technical experience that is simply not enough ram for good system proformence. You need at least 256 for XP by itself to run smoothly and 512 or so if you want to run apps like Word, Excel, games, etc. Otherwise XP will run, but it will drag quite a bit using virtual memory on your hard drive which slows up seak time. That said XP is nice to your system compared to what Windows Vista Beta 2 will do. Try having a GB of mem to run half way alright, and 512 just to get started.
