I didn't bother on my 840av. It runs everything fine with 104MB, at least it's over the ton, where as yours isn't quite. I'd fall over myself to upgrade Boston to a set of 16MB and a set of 4MB SIMMs. With Photoshop alone using 16MB RAM it is not leaving so much room for other software. Anyone know any other Adobe or other products of old that can use the DSP acceleration on the IV GX or was it just a Photoshop feature. I mean as a Photoshop accelerator alone it rocks but I can imaging Illustrator and other stuff might get a boost if they used it for accelerated redraws and such. -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC Vintage Macs List Nanny SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
