ah, there, in the end it *is* the RAM (and CPU) that makes the difference. and yeh, IDE cards and disks are cheaper, but i'm kinda attached to SCSI disks. and i'd rather spend the money on RAM regardless, since even for an older box, it's cheaper - i don't have many options - buying a new disk is not in my price range, but more RAM is. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
