I have found that there is a dramatic advantage to using Virtual Memory with Microsoft software. I allocate 50 Megs to Explorer for example, in my 192 meg Lombard, which I usually set to 193 VM. I think I read that this is because VM turns on a more modern memory manager and that MS likes that mgr. better. I used to set it to one meg over my actual RAM, but I found I could not tell the difference if I went from 193 to 250. I also have a 333 iMac and I was supprised to find that some games run better with VM jacked up to 250. I beleive that the only time you need to turn VM Off is when playing with video. --
