Yeah, I know what you mean. I have the maximum I can put in my system
(apollo060) at 64megs fast but thats no where near what I would like when
working with ArtEffect, Pagestream, Photogenics.. etc.. I would love to be
able to have 128megs of fast (256megs even!)

In fact.... IF I can afford it I might go and by a Blizzard060 card (plus
SCSI kit) just so I can do that.. hmm..

Of that 64megs of memory I have, roughly 16megs of it is used by the time
DOpus has loaded and all the anicillary (spelling?) programs and tools have
loaded (I run 1600x1200 screenmode though so that takes a fair wodge of it
:-/)

Is that summat along the lines of 'the more the better' then? Glad I bought
this 40gig Hard disk then earlier (to add to my current 15gigs)

Whatever happened to the times when having 8megs of memory was more than
enough to do everything you could ever need? Didnt we used to laugh at PC
users needing 32megs when we only needed 4?

Days gone by ehh!
