Jim, You need to ask Rudedog or Meathead that question. After all I am just a "dirt" farmer typing this on an old Pentium 90 Dell with 16 whole megs of RAM. <ggggg> Anyone who wants to contribute to my upgrade fund will be much appreciated.

It should defintely help as the RAM will be synchronized at 100MHz and if you get the latest PIIs you will get the L2 cache running at CPU speed. Hence the memory bottleneck is eased fairly substantially. At work with maybe 10 apps running on a 233 PII with 64MB, I typically use over 130MB memory (swap file) and using the swap file is horrendously slow. With 20-25 apps you are easily eating into over 100MB of swap file so the 160MB will help a lot. See how that goes first before jumping.
