Re: For these applications more memory than 128 Mbytes makes no difference... You can't tell just by looking at perf meter, etc. since they don't reflect memory that is in temporary use as disk cache. If you have as little open as a browser and an Office app, I would expect that you will periodically hear the sound of substantial disk activity as page swapping occurs. Windows tries hard to find a happy medium between the largest possible disk cache and keeping as much of the OS and loaded applications in memory. Like many things, Windows is not perfect. If your computer isn't hooked up to a network or the internet, and all you do is start it up and run Word, you are fine with 128meg - but you are also fine without spending extra money for Rambus. Dan
