BTW, Dave, I also use Datek and I keep the site loaded 24x7.
I don't trade it actively, but I continually check the
real time quotes during the day every trading day.
Maybe Datek interacts with IE, or something. I run
Netscape 4.5 (and until just a few days ago 4.4). I have
not had any memory leak problems I know about, though I
admit I had a couple of blue screens an hour or so
apart last week. Usually I go a week or 10 days between
them. That hasn't recurred, but since I can't explain
it I'm worried. That started when I loaded the latest
NT 4/WS from the January MSDN CDs (and installed service
pack 3). Before that I ran service pack 2 and last January's
(i.e., Jan 97) CDs. Will revert as soon as I have a half
day to futz around with it.
As to cacheable ram, I'm stuck with the same 64 megs.
Every now and then somebody tells me the P6 Intel motherboard
doesn't have that problem (440FX), but the spec says it
does. I put 96mb on the same motherboard at our office and it
slowed down immediately. That's subjective, though; can't
really prove it.
If it's adding up now, Networm has told you the only thing
I know how to do. However, SOMEBODY should be showing up
using a lot of memory in the VM list, or else you're just
plain running too damn many apps <GGG>.
