If you have less RAM, some processes will be paged out and then the memory load will be less than whay you're actually using. What you want to avoid is pageouts on apps you're likely to use soon. Getting it back from VM takes time, a lot less now than before, but with such small price difference I can't understand why one shouldn't buy as much RAM you have money for. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
