You will have at least 2GB of Memory to have all that open at once right
;)

Trend Micro eats up nearly 64MB just to have it run normally on our W2K
machines.

Subject: XP vs Win2000 Pro

I am getting a new PC at work.  The tech's latest rage is putting on XP.

However I've been given the option of remaining on Win2000 Pro.

My typical workload will have:
Five 5250 sessions open
Notes R6 Client and Administrator
5 or 6 browser sessions
iSeries Navigator
WDSC and/or Code/400
Excel
Word
My 'tray' includes:
TrendMicro Office Scan Corporate Edition
Sametime
Desktop Weather by The Weather Channel
Code Communication Daemon
IBM Community Tools

Based on this, should I care one way or the other which I run?  And why?

I ask this on this list to primarily see if any of these products, 
(especially iSeries ones) have "issues" with XP.
