Hi Peter and the rest...
I'm the guy who told Peter that it wasn't necessary to upgrade his thinkpad
to 128MB :)
His requirements were for general everyday windows 98 business applications,
and the occasional photoshop work. Not running NT, anything high end, or
working with large files, I was informed. Based on those facts, many
opinions on newsgroups, and my personal experience, my advice to him was
that he wouldn't get any dramatic improvement by getting the upgrade.
My experience - unless you're working with Windows NT or high-end Windows 98
applications or large files which require tons of RAM, spend your money
elsewhere :)
I'm open to debate, this is only my opinion :)
Warren.
