I agree with Tom. If not, tweek away, 100mh at a time! I have seen where the
bios doesn't see or use max ram until needs too!! Wether or not a certain
program was used I can't remember.Looking for a back issue of pc world to
look for similar program now, with any luck I'll get back to you with more
info. Until then, good luck and farewell.  mkstanz-
