How do I do this? Netscape 7.02 runs so slow due to constantly swapping 
to hard disk cache that it's virtually unusable (though it does render 
the web pages correctly, which is what we wanted). Apparently the system 
has 32mb of ram and a 6GB hard drive. She's wanting to add more RAM, so 
now I must figure out how to do this on an imac as well as which type of 
RAM it takes. I increased a disk cache setting from the default of 64mb 
to 128mb and it improved performance somewhat when running netscape 
7.02, but not nearly enough to make the program usable.

Cheers,

Ari

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my 
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end 
of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many 
people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please 
volunteer to be a marrow donor:
