Hendrik, Thanks for your reply. It made me realize that what I really wanted to confirm was whether the slow redrawing of the desktop was a symptom of low available memory, as I suspected. You confirmed that for me. Thanks! Darcy >Would I be right in assuming that adding another 512 meg to my system would >help? Simple answer: yes. Having the system so maxed out that the Finder doesn't even have enough memory left to redraw the desktop is potentially dangerous. And, at the very least, it's annoying. With ram-prices being what they are, you should simply get as much as possible. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
