2. 1GB
3. 2GB
4. Let Windows manage.  Right now, it's sitting at 1536MB.

Subject: [AccessD] Poll: System Memory amount

Memory is incredibly cheap at least in the US.  I am interested in how much
memory you guys run on your desktops.

1) What OS do you run on your personal / work machines.
2) What do you consider the minimum useful memory for running Windows XP.
3) How much do you have in your machine(s)
4) Are you comfortable adding memory to your machine(s)
5) How do you set up your swap files?

My answers:
1) XP Professional, 2003 standard.
2) 512 mbytes
3) 4 gigs in desktops, 2 gigs in laptops
4) Yes
5) System administered on C:, 2X system memory on each additional drive
