How many years ago? This XP computer has 1 GB and takes way too long
to boot. The patches and security updates take a lot more RAM than pre
service pack 2.

My computer is XP Professional SP2 and surprisingly, it booted up just fine
with 256MB RAM. I have 1.1GB in here right now. It takes about a minute to
reach the desktop and another minute to settle down (my laptop, on the other
hand, seems to take five minutes before it stops chattering).
