To one and all, I have found that I am running into a very frustrating situation with having to have my system dual boot with Win98SE and WinXP Pro.
Turns out due to the 98 issue, I can not put more than the current 512 Megs of ram in the system, though I followed the way to do things as given in the Microsoft support database on what to do - seems you just can NOT run a system having 98 with more than 512 Megs of ram. I bought and installed another 512 Megs of ram, and got lockups, and all kinds of other problems like I could not believe, so had to go back to the original 512 Megs. of ram to get things stable. So the question I have deals with running XP with just 512 Megs of ram - how effectively does XP work with this amount of ram??? The issues I am potentially going to have to deal with involve editing audio and video files in XP, and this is especially one area I dont know how much potential problem would I be facing with just having the 512 Megs of ram. I have over 300 Gigs of hard drive space to work with from that standpoint, so hopefully XP would effectively use that space whan ram was not available. I know it is not like the speed of ram but not much I can do on that issue it would seem. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
