Good call! If anyone hasn't noticed... RAM is at an all time low price
right now. You can get 256MB of server memory for around $150. I bought
256 for my new home PC for only $79 :) www.crucial.com has great quality
memory for just about everything.

For how many clients? Are you using the work around for the Progress
problem that plagued 4.0 last year? That modified some Progress parameters
so there was one server process per client connection. Below is a blurb I
saved from Epicor. There was also an -Ma (??) parameter that needed to be
set, but I don't see it mentioned.
