It's an old one - it won't take more than 2GB. I haven't found a problem
and I don't quit anything to make it work. To be fair though, all I use
in XP is the accounting package and that's not exactly beastly with
regards to memory.

I have found that my radio controlled helicopters, small indoor
ones, run fine no matter what memory I have on my computers.

Cool! How about the float planes and giant scale aerobatic biplanes?

Ah look... these are way out of scale for indoor activities! One
can sit at a nice Mac laptop or an even just keyboard and screen
powered by a quiet under-desk Mac tower and, in a moment of
boredom or just for quick relief, still fly the little
helicopters. They *fit*, you have to understand...

I can easily fly the airplanes but I could never get the knack with the
helis.
