OK - this is the only reply that I recieved in PM concerning this matter...... therefore, I will go with it, for that is what I thought to.

REPLY: Windows XP in itself would probably run on your current PC with some more RAM.


Thanks....

Yeah I have XP on my new computer and just wanted to upgrade the old computer so that I could place the XP on the old computer for Log In Protection..... I was told to buy a 256MB RAM Stick for the old computer and that should take care of it.

buy the memory stick of ebay rhap, it will be a lot cheaper than buying new, it should cost you about $25-30 dollars at most for a 256mb stick and if there is space leave the old stick in situ

Thanks Mellor.................... and YES I will look on Ebay for the Ram Stick for I have purchased other items for the old computer off there - for no one really makes any thing for the old computer any more.
And YES.... I think there is still a space for me to leave the old 128MB in and just add the 256MB to the pile.
