FWIW: During my MIDI Mapper search, I got to speak with a senior support
engineer at Microsoft. He asked me why I wasn't running Win2K, and I
explained that I had five machines to update, and so memory was an
issue. He explained that Win2K runs really well "with only 256M of RAM."
(!) He also did not recommend updating my wife's laptop, which maxes out
at 96M.
