OK. There are lots of system limits you may hit. The number of processes
or threads is not one you would be hitting. If it's important, I would
suggest running the performance manager and looking for what is out of wack.
I have found limits on things like the number of open handles in the past.
I'm not aware what the limit is on the desktop OS.
Good luck...

According to the task manager I came up to (peaked at) approx 416M
with plenty to spare left...
What happens to the other 300M ram that are appeartely free and
available? Can't windows use it?? It's weird...
