 Well, the summary pretty much says it all.  The AppleShare Administrator's
guide doen't answer several questions for me, namely:

  If i'm using a Mac II  as a file server, with 2 MB of memory ( and under the
maximum of 50 users) benefit of another 3 MB of memory for the file server? I
know that the RAM chache will increase (it's at 1024K already, though with
2MB) and that will (theoretically) speed things up, but i've switched back
and forth, and don't see much of a difference.

  Thanks for any help that any peoples out there can give...
