Ian,

I am running Windows 2000 Pro, and am thinking of upgrading to ME. From what I've 
heard all over the web, it looks better, more stable, and cheaper than XP.

I do wonder, having built a PC myself, if you know what RAM is? It is the memory 
of the computer. It comes in sticks and is an internal part. There is no limit to 
how much RAM am O.S. can deal with. It is limited only by the PC's motherboard, and 
the cost of RAM/memory. It is hardly fair to blame ME (the O.S., not myself!) for 
the fact that most ME PCs have less RAM than XPs. This is due only to the fact that 
XP came out later, and therefore is used on more recent PCs, which might happen to 
have more RAM than ones running ME.

I should probably point out that this computer I am using, which I built, is running 
Windows 2000 Pro (older than ME) and has 512mb RAM. I think I rest my case.

It is just what the PC manufacturers choose to put in their systems.





On a weirder note, if anyone wants to win a brand new mobile phone booster by doing 
hardly anything (retails for $19.99 in the States), check out my new web site, the 
official waste land of the Internet, its-not.me.uk, 
and click on "competitions"! Just to give you folks a chance, the first letter was 
"D". Click 4 more info.  '-)

*shameless plug over*

Back on the PC front, does anyone have any other comments about possibly upgrading 
to ME from 2000? Maybe from 2000 to XP, although I'm reluctant to do this. What do 
people think?
