Blanket statements such as "get 512 of RAM" are misleading; the amount of RAM one needs is dependent on the apps you use. I've seen an ibook run X on 128Megs of RAM; it was painfully slow to me, but since the user only used a non-Claris email program and Appleworks, she was content. People who open and use ten apps at a time *and want them to perform adequately* will require more RAM. More RAM in general is good; but don't buy more RAM than you need. bevon Berndt von Wahlde Academic International Press PO Box 1111 * Gulf Breeze FL 32562-1111 850 934 0953 (fax) / [EMAIL PROTECTED] (e-mail) / www.ai-press.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "it's a perfect day for making out to wake up with a smile without a doubt to burst grin giggle bliss skip jump sing and shout let's get happy! it's a perfect day for doing the unstuck" --the cure ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
