The MakeMusic site says NOTHING about FREE memory, only that your system should have 256meg installed. I wouldn't of wasted my money to upgrade if it needs 256M of "free" memory. (Along those lines, I can't justify spending more money to upgrade my computer just for this program. Finale 2006 works well enough). I have plenty of programs that require 256M system memory that run just fine (and as fast as any computer I've used). I still want to know why a notation program has to use SOOO much memory to notate music. (I can understand why playback or GPO or the like might need a lot more, but why can't those be loaded in only if needed instead of bloating the whole software? It seems like bad programming). Oh, my sound and video card are separate from the system RAM. James Gilbert www.jamesgilbertmusic.com "640K ought to be enough for anybody.
