Dear Cygwin/x developers,

I have a laptop with 2 GB of RAM running Window XP Professional Version
2002.  Do I need more RAM for Cygwin/x to work effectively?  (I don't
know if it matter, but I have 94 GB of hard disk memory free and a 2.26
GHz processor.)

Thanks,
Andrew Wallace

That seems unlikely.  All problems I have with it, on a less powerful 
machine, go away upon reboot.  This is Windows, after all.

No.  i've ran X with 512, 768, and 1000MB fine.
I wasn't attempting to run Gnome or KDE desktops, only X applications.  Not sure how resource intensive the 
entire desktop suite is.
