Hi Susan My newest PC runs XP Pro happily (very!) with 4GB, though the normal (32-bit) version of XP sees only 3GB. I don't recall seeing anything about 1.2 GB - but I'm always way behind in my list reading. Go for 2 gig: it's cheap enough! Sorry, can't help with the cable question; my broadband is over the phone line.

I'm going to upgrade my pc -- was going to go all the way to 2 gigs until the recent conversation about Windows XP not being able to use more than 1.2, so my question is, why pay for 2 if the system's only going to use 1.5? 2.) Is there a modem/wireless router combo? I'm using cable Internet. If I have to buy both, seems like someone would be making a single unit that does both by now.
