- I think the Word 5 manual says you should set memory at 2Meg if you use Sys 7
- and/or the Grammar checker.
- The Classic with Sys 7 is not going to be too fst anyway, but be sure you
- have sys7 TuneUp 1.1.1 installed, and remove things like the Crammar checker
- if you aren't using it. Also, get the Word5a patch and especially the
- new Spell and Grammar checker PIM's (plug in modules).
-
- I have a Classic II with all the above, and I set memory for Word 5 at 1200-
- 1400K with no problem. I have removed the grammar checker (I like the new
- spelling checker). I have the stuf mentioned above, and its tolerable, though
- not a speed demon. Sys 7 on a classic is slow. I waited till I had a faster
- machine to use Sys 7. I know a lot of people who still use Sys 6.xx for
- speed sake. Van@cup.portal.com
