I figure that some of the problems I am having with my windows box (the
current one) could be due to memory problems.  I was thinking that maybe
registered memory would alleviate those.  Of course, it could be solved
with XP.   I don't think I would have worried about it if the machine was
only going to run Linux.

Maybe I will try it your suggested way and save some money.
Thanks for the suggestion.
