>Running VFP6/SP3 on NTServer4/SP5 (128mb RAM, 726mb of pagefile), I was humming along developing an app and VFP reported that memory was low so streaming output would be disabled. I immediately did a ? sys(3050,1) and it says 82051072. What happened?

High resolution screen display + lots of controls is one frequent answer - you used up the GDI memory, which can't exceed a total of 64K.

You may find that limiting VFP's use of memory will actiually speed things up - VFP will eat your page file until there isn't anything left and then some, and when the virtual memory space exceeds the phsycial memory space by lots, you may well find that your end up hurting performance by thrashing out the system swapping pages between disk and RAM worse than if VFP didn't think it had a GB to play with...
