Will, Question for you about the configuration to get AS to run well. I'm getting ready to upgrade RAM. (Currently running 16MB on a Micron PCI 90). Do you think it's enough to jump to 32 or is it worth the extra cost to jump to 48MB instead? I'm planning on adding a windows video accelerator card (either Diamond Viper or Number Nine Motion 771) at the same time so I'd like to save the money on the extra RAM if it's not going to make a big difference. What's your best guess? Also, the 4X RAM in swap space has my system swapping forever. Is there something else to do to make it more efficient? I DEFRAG often and usually have about 400 – 500 of free space on the drive. Thanks. Barry
