The argument that 32-bit graphics applications NEED lots of memory is only partly valid--it doesn't account for the other 90% of applications, some of which are extremely clean and lean, but some of which, to quote a previous poster, are in fact real memory and CPU PIGS. Just my personal opinion. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Ben Hekster | "Plans made in the nursery Installer dude | can change the course of history AppleLink: heksterb | Remember that!
