Is it reasonably fast? A RAM cache will speed up your disk accesses, by caching them in main memory. "Virtual" will give the appearance of more main memory by swapping it out to disk. Does it strike anyone else as amusing that someone might consider using them both at the same time? (Hey, you know if you used Virtual 2.0, you could make it look like you had 8 Meg of RAM, and then use 2 of those megabytes as a RAM cache! :-). =brian brian@ima.isc.com US 617-661-7474 x206 near the Charles River
