All of them :) The current FME betas can take advantage of 3Gb of ram (http://fmepedia.com/index.php/FME_Performance_Tuning) so if you often have to process large dataset that would be a good thing to consider. Fast disks can, especially when using large datasets, make a lot of difference as well. This also applies to disk space. -- Hans van der Maarel Red Geographics www.redgeographics.com / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get the maximum benefit from your FME, FME Objects, or SpatialDirect via our Professional Services team.
