Some folks only have 4Gbs or less still. That won't be enough for LOo. Heck, my 16Gbs wasn't enough at one time. I had to either let it be on HDD or set it to a higher amount than the default half. I also tested the time difference once before, it didn't really make much difference. It just saves wear on a drive is all. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
