Here are some of the numbers. Application 16 meg 32 meg ------------------------------------------------------------ WordPerfect 11 sec(TO LOAD) 6 sec AutoCAD 15 sec 10 sec Quicken 7 sec 4 sec These are just load times with the previous application still running. Where I have noticed the greatest improvement is when tasking between these apps. There is considerably less writes to the hard drive. I bought 16 meg for under $200, so it was well worth it for me. I hope this helps. Mike Stavros
