NT is excepted.
Win9x is limited in the amount of RAM it can allocate, anything more than
128 is junk..
Win2k Server/Advanced Server/Datacenter can scale up to gigs and gigs of
RAM and as you said, with better garbage collection than previous versions.
I think the lowest one is 2 Gig for W2k Server.

You are not alone.
I'm not an expert here and I'm sure you are going to get plenty of expert
help.
However, I will say that anything less that windows2000 (and I don't know
if
NT is excepted here) allocates only 125 of RAM ( or some such low number)
no matter how much RAM you have installed. Win2000 handles RAM much
better and you don't keep getting the "low resources" message.
I ran into the same trouble and just kept "unnecessary" applications or
resources
closed. Allaire has this information in its knowledgebase, I believe,
because
they are the ones that explained it.

General question here -
I'm going to assume windows allocates certain percentages of memory (RAM)
to specific software programs, is there a way to change this? The
reason Im asking is I frequently run out of memory (RAM) and get odd
error messages from programs saying not enough memory. Well, I have
recently upgraded my work PC to 1/2 GIG of RAM from 256, but still
get these screwy messages. I admit I do have a lot of applications
open on my workstation but I would think I would run out of 1/2 GIG
of RAM that easily. I am running a P3 667 w/ 500 MEG RAM.
Applications running when error messages occur:
IE 5.5, MS Access 97', windows explorer, Lotus Notes, SQL query analyzer,
SQL Enterprise Manager, AOL instant messenger. (I would not think
this would be enough to yield memory errors, but as soon as I shut
one down all is well.)
Thanks,
Casey Cook
