I printed out a piece on VM in WIN98. It said to set your VM, manually, at twice the amount of RAM. What are the specs for XP PRO ?

The "hard and fast" rule is that it is the same (2 or 2.5 times your physical RAM) for WinXP as it is for Win98.

But here's a link that gives you other links to Task Manager and how to view VM with the specific programs/applications that you tend to use simultaneously on your machine. In other words, how to tune VM for your specific pattern of usage.
