Windows 7 + FrameMaker 11 = BOOM!

[Rick Quatro]

You can disagree if you want, but those of us with heavy-duty FrameMaker
experience know that, in general, more RAM means less FrameMaker crashes.
With the size (and number) of applications increasing, and the low cost of
RAM, there is no reason not to run with at least 8 GB.

It may not be a low amount of RAM causing the crashes, but this should be
one of the first places to look.

Fred, one of the most basic functions of an operating system is to be able
to manage memory (without crashing!)  :) 
Simply because applications might all want more memory on the go at one time
than is physically available, should not mean that anything crashes! It gets
paged in and out.   Windows 7, indeed, has more robust sandboxing of memory
usage between apps than Windows XP. 
The idea that "you gotta have 8GB of RAM otherwise Frame will crash" is a
bit sweeping!
