I have no >problems with half a gig, but no idea where the border case may be. I have a 1.2GHz machine on the way, this one is just for development in the meantime. For this application I just need to grab one frame of video, save it to disk, wait 10 seconds then grab the next. It's for a security camera. So your belief is it's jusy not enough memory in the machine and speed to do the job? r.b.
