This might help
(i'm using 3.00 GB of DDRII - 2.8 or so addressable in XP) Things might be different if you re using XP Home - Like me and therefore you cannot address more than 1Gb in your user profile - If you have XP pro, maybe can you look at your user profile in settings, and allocate agreater cashe of RAM - also look at the system performance Tab in settings and try to maximise your program performance. Just an Idea. Does Win MCE XP
allow this
