We have only run into XP and ME so far.  If you have access to XP please 
check it with that.


Does anyone on the list happen to know how much RAM ME is supposed to take 
up before you run any programs?  We have 100-200K free RAM right after 
booting, and it has one 64MB DIMM.  Memtest crashes at 7% of the second 
test every time.  This Gateway midget computer has a history of problems 
and the motherboard was replaced soon after purchase.
