yes i fully concur, its the ram, forget installing YDL 2.1 with less than
64megs even using the text installer.
and you might as well get at least 128M
http://www.velocityupgrades.com/ has a poor website and didn't like my
feedback about it, but good prices, shipped it fast and it worked just great
with my 8500 and another person's something i forget. they get my vote.
cheers,
blake
