>I will have them check this. Don't worry about using the term 'memory-hog'! I like your descriptions. They really are true! I don't know if it is VFP that is a 'memory-hog' or just Windows in general! When people ask us advice about purchasing a new computer we tell them to give windows as much memory as possible.

Something to keep in mind for clients who may want to run Win2K on hardware they're buying now. The base requirements for Win2K will be 64MB of RAM and an MMX-enabled processor; the MMX processor isn't an issue, but 64MB may be. Most systems today will accept this with no problem; several earlier Intel chipsets for the Pentium processor top out at 64MB (the 430VX chipset, used in many low-end systems a couple of years ago, has an upper addressing limit of 64MB, the 430HX required an additional tag SRAM to cache addresses above 64MB, and the more recent 430TX, the last Pentium-class chipset produced by Intel, won't cache memory addresses in the L2 cache above the 64MB limit, so that there's a performance penalty associated with putting more than 64MB in these machines.) Keep this in mind when planning probable system upgrade requirements for your clients - these older systems probably won't be able to take a Pentium II motherboard (the Pentium II motherboards are almost all ATX form factor boards, which won't fit right in older AT form factor cases), so a motherboard upgrade is going to force them to either change cases, or go with a 'Super7' motherboard and a non-Intel processor, again, not inherently a bad thing, but a consideration.

And the 64MB minimum is coming from the same people who told you that Win95 would run on a 386SX with 4MB of RAM...
