Still it shows that it can use enough to come up with 96mb total RAM (I think), which apparently isn't enough to run RR. If I open the docs it crashes. With the CF card as RAM it doesn't, i.e., it just slowwwws down. The CF card is all that's standing between an operable system and a total stall.
The problems don't get bad until I open the docs. If I moved them to the flash card, I think it might remain the same. OTOH, I'd like to try that, but what will happen if I drag the docs folder out of Rev and put it on the CF card?
