Uninstall has always taken 2-3 times longer than the install in my 
experience (I do a LOT of uninstall/installs, as I always uninstall the 
old before installing the new version)...

I've never seen it  take 30 minutes though... ever...

I will say though... I consider 1GB to be the *bare minumum* on an XP 
box but it will still be sluggish. I couldn't use it with 512MB, it 
would drive me to drink.

For XP, I always recommend 2GB, and for 7 (won't touch Vista), minimum 
is 4GB.
