When you stop, fire up a few other applications, close them, then go back start up UT again. It should stay cached in RAM, depending on how large the other programs are. Personally, I think 512 will be more than enough for UT, and you'll get all the bandwidth bonus to boot. The again, 1G is not all that much more expensive any more, and more RAM is a better choice if it is your intention to use this system for a number of years. I don't think Win95/98/SE/ME can handle more than 512M though (IIRC). UT2003 takes a oit of RAM, I am satisfied at 768M. -- Slackware8.0, 2.4.21, A7V333-XP2100+, Ti4200 RLU #272755
