Well I've only been around computers for 24 years but I'm with you on
memory. I only have 512 mb in mine but I have another 256 on my desk.
I guess I think it will help just sitting there. The only thing doing
anything on my machine is the Global Server is importing data and my
Memory is at 575 MB. Unfortunately my motherboard is maxed out and I
get errors when I try to add more memory. Time to anti up for a new
machine jimmy. The newer Tyan boards for Xeon processors will support
16 GB of memory. I'm pretty sure you can run TS2ki ok on that much
memory. Wow!
