Removed the "Hardware Displays / Monitors" Zone and added the "System utilities", System Diagnostic Software", M$ OS", and "XP OS" Zones instead.

OS is Windows XP Service pack 3. It has 2 GB default.
I agree Neilsr, but if it is needed we can go for upgrade. if it is not really required then its waste of money.

5 x 2GB sticks should be very cheap as memory is pretty cheap these days.

Windows XP will almost always perform better with 4gb of ram installed in a PC than with 2. (Even though the 32bit version can not access ALL 4gb). It is NEVER a waste of money to increase performance. Even just reducing Boot time by half a min, easy on a networked domain XP computer with full AV installed, can justify a cost of a few pounds over a year.
Like I said, Your time can be better spent and used more cost efficiently than justifying spending the odd £/$/INR on a few sticks of memory. Just my opinion.

In general with the price of memory nowadays it is more eficient to just do the upgrade to 4GB than to spend a week monitoring. Time = Money. RAM is cheap.
