Judy, you ought to go ahead and get the full 8 meg RAM added. For example,
FrameMaker requires a minimum of 8 meg, but in my experience, it really
needs more. I'd probably go so far as to say that you can never have too
much RAM.
I've just bought a RAM doubler (occasionally a tripler, it claims on the
box) but have not yet installed it and so don't know if it will improve
the performance of Frame on my PC.
