Because the OS can use it to cache disk reads, etc. Plenty of RAM can have a more beneficial effect than a faster processor/disk in many cases. I make a point of maxing out *all* the PCs I use with as much RAM as possible (2GB in my laptop, 4GB in my P4 server, 1.5GB in my P3 server, etc.) R. _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
