Actually, I just noticed a few days ago that there's a System Failure
section in "Startup and Recovery" (System Properties->Startup and
Recovery) that lists down what the user wants XP to do on the even of a
system failure (BSOD?).  Some options are: write event log, admin alert,
autorestart, memory dump, and the dump file.  By default the dump file is
%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP

Then again, I haven't tested the (mis)feature..  My use of XP doesn't take
the OS to the limit to make it BSOD -- I only use it for web-app/ATL 
Control testing, and VS.NET.

stay cool.
