The amazing thing about XP is that 512MB was never enough for it; People back in 2001 had a vastly different approach to what was considered enough.

Thanks to XP lasting as long as it did, the OS vs RAM ratio has swung in favour of us having loads of RAM and never having to rely on swap, which is one hell of a good thing.
