1)      While editing large XAML files in Blend, my machine either slows down or hangs. My machine configuration is a P4 3 Ghz CPU
 and 2 MB of RAM. Do you thinking upgrading my RAM will solve the problem?

If it is 2 MB RAM then surely you need to upgrade it to 2GB. However, I've also faced the same problem with blend that the performance is bit slower even with blend March preview.

haha. I think it might be a typo :) Noone use 2MB RAM nowadays, isn't it?  :)

I think that blend, Silverlight and Xaml Editor has some performance issue... For me, I wanna disable Xaml Editor in VS since it's just for viewing only..
