Fair enough. Since you posted on PLUG I had just assumed it was Linux
related.  Extra memory never hurts, with the right OS. If you got the
cash, just go ahead and fill up all the DIMM slots.  Sell, or donate
the old sticks.  Post back if you still have memory issues due to your
fancy expensive app swapping to hard drive.

I will have to disagree on you linux video tool assessment. For example,

Given my budget, and inclination since 1994, call me a GNU/Linux fan
boy.  I've been building and fiddling with these things for 30+ years;
Vax, Unix, CP/M, every flavor of DOS, DRDOS, FreeDOS, Win3.x, 95, 85,
ME, 2K, Xp vista, 7....   and I just don't have the energy for
Microsoft shenanigans anymore.

Have fun.
