Hi Phi,
We have FileMaker Pro 4.1 running on a central Win98 PC (Celeron 400MHz) which hosts
ebase. We have up to 4 users on our LAN simultaneously connecting to this
ebase host. FileMaker on this machine would crash about every 2 or 3 days. When we
went from 64MB RAM to 256, the crashes stopped and its running beautifully.
So more RAM seems to make FileMaker Pro a lot more stable.
