for like the 10th time this year!!

geez! i think i must have faulty RAM or something....
anyway for the time being i've got 2 versions of windows XP running on the 1 hard drive
until i back everything up and burn to cd....

how much is RAM these days?

Depends on the kind of RAM you need. There are three types that are most common these days: SDRAM, DDR RAM, and RDRAM. Find out what kind of RAM you need and then you can figure out the price. It widely varies. I would suggest a minimum of 128 MB of RAM for Windows XP, but, really, you should have at least 256 MB.

It also could be your hard drive, and I have a feeling that that needs to be replaced.
