New member and new to Arch

Im am new to arch but not new to linux.  I have used Ubuntu, Debian, fedora, Salckwaer, and a couple other ones.  I have a couple of questions before I start the install.

1. Is 128 megs of ram enough?
2.  Can I use the default config files to start.  Then edit them as I go.  Or should I just edit them right from the start.
3.  Any other info besides the install guide that might helpfull before I start.

Thanks for the help Kelean.

1 yes. but you need i686 compotable processor
2 depends on your hardware. 90% that you can start with default config
3 Use installer version 0.8 beta iso

Thank you very much.  I am running  an athlon 1800xp pro i think.  I am going to check all my hardware before i start the install.  I have the new .8 version burnt to a disk.  I cant wait to get down to it.  blind enthusiasm is a wonderful thing.

You might want to get familiar with Beginner's Guide and perhaps also Post Installation Tips.
