Colleen,

I have to second this one. XP will run with 128 MB of RAM, but it will spend
so much time swapping stuff to virtual memory that it's crippling and you'll
think something is defective with your hardware. I wouldn't try XP with less
than 256 MB, and preferably would start with 384 or more.

I also have to second the sentiments about going with XP Pro rather than XP
Home.

Colleen, without knowing what you'll need to do with the laptop, my 
recommendations might be off ... But 128 MB of RAM is awfully low. And 
the Home Editions of any Microsoft product are *much* less robust than 
the Professional Editions.
