I just picked up 4 GByte of RAM (for $240) and a new
500 GByte hard drive (for $105), so I'm good to go.
I'm planning to deduce this from my taxes this year
and from my maintenance contract next year. I know it's
double dipping, but what the hell. :-)
Cheers,
David

I'm on WinXP and mine is about 170MB (500MB virtual size)

Actually, it's finished it's analyzing and is sitting on 100MB Memory
usage and javaw.exe is at 34MB.
I only have 460MB of RAM!
Maybe I should go back to school and wait to receive a new laptop that
our new government in Oz has promised to the schoolkiddies...

Does it release any memory after it is done "Analyzing code..."?

I'm not even going to suggest a solution, but I will
point out that my now useless Sony Vaio will only
permit a maximum of 512 MByte of RAM. :-(
