Allen,
If your system is stable, then why ruin a good thing? There is no need to
increase memory. BTW, I use a utility called MemMapper - it shows that
Entourage is generally satisfied using less than 5.2 MB of RAM.
My system has been extremely stable since installing 9.1 -- now I go for
days without needing to reboot, as opposed to a minimum of once a day. So
I'm not going to add more memory to E'rage when it isn't needed. Who knows,
there might be a shareware extension out there that needs the 10 Mb I've
saved...
