Thanks Tom,

I learned that a 32-bit XP OS couldn't use all of 4GB of RAM before
I bought this pc, so my plan was to buy 2GB more to add to the 1GB
that came installed in it.

I thought 3GB would be good enuf for me.

I looked at the superspeed link and it brought RAMDRIVE to my memory.
I looked in XP Help&Support but didn't see any results in my search.
The Powers at MS decided no one needed RAMDRIVE just like they decided
no one needs DOS to run any of the older programs they own.

Today I was reading a little and was reminded that XP has a
"Program Compatibility Wizard" for older programs, I never noticed
that before.

... I'm not indecisive ... well, I don't think I am.
