(I. e. that above 4G, in this case?) Surely :-) You are correct; I assumed 64-bit and lots of RAM even though Pete didn't say that. Even if he did, it's definitely worth pointing out what you said. There was a thread a while back about that issue, where someone knowledgeable (hence, not me!) pointed out that RAM disk programs that can address that high memory definitely do exist. -- Gene E.
