i cannot imagine any difference. 48MB ram for star office IMO is not enough. I wouldn't use it seriously unless I had at least 128MB ram, even then its slow. The slowest desktop i have built in recent memory was a Dual P2-233 with 384MB ram. and to get it run at a decent speed i had to install 2 7200RPM SCSI drives and put them in Raid0. And another 5400RPM SCSI drive for /home. This machine runs SuSE 7.3 professional for my sister. > > Is the Star Office 5.2 address book reliable enough for mail > merges, or has any other word processor (Applixware?) an address > book that can be used for mail merges? don't know about this, don't know what a mail merge is and i don't use address books much at all anyways. nate
