I have no clue what this guy's situation is, but remember, y'all, our illustrious competitor, NT, is quite a bit slower than we are. It is possible that NT was slower than the slower of the two sets of ram, so it *really* could have never noticed the problem. FreeBSD, on the other hand, obviously did. So I'd bet NT saw all of the memory *and* was able to use it. We just couldn't. My first FreeBSD box was a converted NT (3.xx) box which labored under only 8 users. Under fbsd I tested a max of 70+ users. (p200/128meg for those who care). Pretty fair difference from my perspective... Lee
