There was a LEM article a while back that claimed slightly better performance if VM was set at some multiple of 32, the idea being that the Mac OS snatches HD or VM space at multiples of 32(kb?). Don't have the slightest idea if that's true, or if you'd notice a difference. Those of us with tiny hard drives would of course never do this, no matter how much better it ran. I'm sure saving money for RAM and a faster HD is a much better alternative for any Mac that's more than a trailer queen. -David -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
