There is a nifty program called "Do I need More Memory?" at <http://www.hillmanMinx.com>. Launch it before any other applications and let it run in the background. It keeps track of pageouts and virtual memory use. It reports the maximum memory used based on pageouts, and the effective load of memory used. For example, I have the stock 128MB; with a relatively normal load of applications open (Classic, emailer, icab, newswatcher, word, Excel, bbedit light, palm desktop, & often Acrobat & a few utilities) I have rarely gone above a 300 MB effective load - suggesting that a 256k addition would be most welcome. - Charlie ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
