Any ideas?
Without 32 bit memory addressing, the System shows up as "eating" huge chunks of RAM it actually doesn't. You can try installing Mode 32. Be careful it's NOT the one for System 7.5, unless you're running 7.5. OR, if you already have it, go to the memory control panel and turn it on and restart the Mac.
