# I'm assuming that
by memory you mean disk space, in which case the default winduhs installation can be over 3/4gb by the time you add in the 'driver backup' database plus the dll backups that exist *just in case you delete one*.
That's Pro mind, Server might take up a bit more.....

# just to clean up the confusion below

# do you mean
how much memory should w2k use?
should run ok in 64mb, as long as not too many apps are running. 256mb should be good for general use.
(edit) has anything crashed recently? you may have something using up a bunch of memory and not releasing it properly.

# I think he means
How much disk space does Windows 2000 use.

It's no real set amount - my winn dir takes ~1 gig but it's a pretty recent installation so I'll expect that to go up over time.

# 'hard drive space'
is a type of memory

# Aye 'tis true

# indeed

# I wonder if
Mr. Counter-Pedantic should be reversed?
