System Allocations

Foreword:  I traded Marc my original iPhone (1st Gen) for a Dell Laptop — Latitude D505.  Dual-core 1.6GHz with 512MB RAM and a ~30GB HDD.  Not too bad.  I re-installed Windows XP Pro on it today and finally got all of the updates done … what a pain.  I forgot how tedious Windows installs were.
