RD is very handy on the 1400 (I use RD9), but it is most useful for a situation where you have a large number of applications requiring a cumulative amount of RAM, as RD can rob Peter to pay Paul in those cases if applications are inefficiently using their respective allocations. However, RD's RAM redistribution can't help a situation where one large application requests a large memory space; in that case, it will either compress memory (depending on the version of RD; RD9 can do this), or it will fall back on its own VM algorithm, which is faster and more thrifty of hard disk space than Apple VM, but still sucks. -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
