>1gb

Interesting that Cetin has less RAM and is even sharing 64 MB with video, but still does not notice a performance hit. Do you have lots of other processes running in the background? I too have a GB of RAM, but I did not notice any performance issues when I upgraded to the VFP 9.0 OleDb driver. I guess the next step is to turn off all un-necessary processes, then compare performance between the old and the new driver. Sorry, I am not a hardware guru by any stretch of the imagnation, so all this is just speculation.
