>If you remember Fox takes it all. You have to restrict lets say foregrounf to 32 mB, background 10 mB otherwise the first app will have all memory used and there is nothing left for the second one..

Peter,

But that would affect NT as well, then, no? Both machines have 128 MB of RAM...I can run 1, 2, 3, or 5 apps at once with no stalling. On this machine, with only Lotus Notes running, she cannot even run two apps at once without one starting to stall. It's hard to believe one app is eating up that much memory, and if so, why no hard-drive thrashing when accessing virtual memory, and why no memory errors?

I will continue to look into this...have a great weekend!
