Hi Kelly,

I'm running FM 7.0p579 on a Dell Precision 360 with P4 3.00ghz chip and 
1.5 GB of RAM.  More/faster than what you have, but I routinely have 
four or five other app's running at the same time (Photoshop, Xara, 
Firefox, Thunderbird, Acrobat, Powerpoint, etc.), and I haven't had an 
FM crash in months.  I would suspect other causes, like corrupt files 
(.fm, graphics?) or conflict with another program, rather than too 
little memory.  Do you get a lot of crashes?  What other programs are 
running at the same time?  How often do you reboot Windoze?
