Ok everyone is talking about what a resource pig WinXP is going to be...granted this new UI (Luna?) is probably going to eat a ton of system resources...

But the beta testers have claimed you can turn that all off. So assuming we turn it all off, and set our UI back to a Win2k-like UI, will XP really use much more RAM than Win2k does now?

The only way to tell that your upgrade is a genuine Microsoft product is to check to make sure the amount of RAM used has doubled after install.
