Western Digital Caviar Black Series. 7200RPM, 32MB Cache SATA II Hard drives, 500GB is smallest, 640GB and 750GB are available, usually between $50 and $80 depending on the site and sales going on at the time, some of the faster of the 7200RPM drives on the market.

Seen as how 32 bit won't see more than 3.4 GB's of memory, I'm wondering if this is possible anyway for a RAM dive? Just don't know if allocation matters in respect of a software based RAM drive. One part of me thinks it would matter because the OS is running the small...

I'd disable them, did a quick search on the searchprotocolhost: How to fix searchprotocolhost.exe error? what rev of XP are you running? is it an old RC or retail. any SP's installed. i'd go to 2 but not 3. oh, and don't disable from msconfig. go into the services in control panel (under administrative tools) and look at the list of startup processes. sounds like there may be several things that can be turned off, at least...
