Is anybody using FoCal on a XP SP3 with 2GB of ram?

Yes, that always helps. My friend's husband works at M'soft in Seatle but she divorced him and we dont like him any more so there! Full upgrade price for me!

Just to close the loop, it works on my 2GB laptop running XP SP3 (with other programs hogging memory ALL the time... Oh! AND I do not have any dedicated memory for graphics either - you know what that means... Yes, I have a day job that pays for my hobby...).
Another thing, FoCal actually did a test and ran the 1.4 version on a 1.5GB VM and got back to me. I was impressed by their responses. At least 4 responses to my mails on this topic alone!

However, as I have just 2GB of ram I am not sure if it will run. I have posted a question on their forum but was wondering if anybody is running it on a 2GB XP machine.
Yes, I know the config is low :) I did not need more ram earlier so I stayed with 2gb.

I feel your pain. Still running xp pro because it just works but will be due soon to upgrade. Windows 8 looks like a joke of an OS. I'll probably just buy a copy of windows 7 pro.

:) I never get the latest MS OS. Would not jump to 8. Made the mistake with 95 and learnt...
