Steven, what JD was saying is that the minimum amount of memory in all current machines will go up, as well as those being newly produced. Only new machines, if they are set up that way, will use 8 MB SIMMS. The rest will put heavy pressure on demand for 1 MB and 4 MB SIMMS. That was the thrust of his argument. To my mind, it makes a lot of sense. Chicago and other OS's will need more memory, not less, unless something radically changes in the future. Or to put it another way, "the program will expand to fill the available RAM, and demand more." The Four Seasons of Southern California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot.
