You're one of the lucky ones. You probably don't have many 3rd party
components installed in Delphi. With the number of components and
experts that I have installed in Delphi, I was rebooting on an average
of 3 to 5 times a day. When I upgraded to Win2000(no added RAM), Delphi was
running smoother and faster, and no reboots, other than after
installing software or upgrades.

Everybody's experience is different.

Have a nice day.
