Windows memory
Windows memory requirements :Windows XP: Microsoft recommends 64 MB as a minimum and 128 MB for real-life computing; Crucial recommends 256 MB.
Windows 2000: Microsoft recommends 64 MB; Crucial goes with 128 MB.
Windows ME: Microsoft recommends 32MB as a minimum; Crucial recommends 128 MB.
Windows 98: Microsoft recommends 24 MB as a minimum; Crucial recommends 96 MB.
Windows NT 4x: Microsoft recommends 32 MB as a minimum; Crucial recommends 96 MB.
Windows 95: Crucial doesn't list this OS (too old?), but Microsoft recommends a minimum of 8
MB, and other sources recommend a minimum of 24 MB.
Be aware that Win 95 suffers from a problem with diminishing returns. Too much memory (i.e. anything over 64 MB) tends to make Win 95 choke.
