I've sometimes given Netscape 40 MB!! RealPlayer or something said i needed to keep raising the memory allocation for Netscape, but after 30 meg there wasn't any noticeable difference. Photoshop and any graphics/multimedia apps will always be memory gluttons. Even MacSoup will be if you add enough ngs. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
