I have ran WinXP on a 200Mhz with 128Meg RAM with no startup problems. The system
started up faster than Win ME.
So I feel this is a software/hardware/driver issue (not RAM issue). Try to uninstall
what you feel is the problem. Also try to uninstall what you don't need. And also
try to see if Dell has updated drivers for your system. If there is then download
and install them. If that doesn't work try to reinstalling WinXP with Dell's Restore
CD. If that doesn't work try to clean install with Dell's Restore CD and install
the newest drivers.
If that does not work, then try to see if Dell would swap machines for you. Or see
if Dell would check out the machine for you. For this maybe a hardware issue.
