512 MB. 500mhz. Email program. Notepad x 5. explorer x 3 email reply windows x 14 microsoft word proxomitron webwasher taskmanager firewall cookiemanager distributed.net client visual basic visual c++ winamp Norton Protect Directcd The hard limit on window handles is a worse limit than memory constraints (1GB with page files). Since I last restarted I have not used all of my physical memory. I could for instance load a multiple hundred megabyte soundfont into memory for use with playing midi files. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
