Acrobat

[Earl Young]

     Under the options screen in Netscape 3.0 (sub Network, sub Cache) are 
     settings for both memory and disk cache.  A common setting for these 
     is a meg for memory and 5 megs for disk.  We tweak these to good 
     effect.  Serious users that download high-bandwidth pages may need 2 
     megs of memory, for example.
     
     I am unfamiliar with additional needs Acrobat has for cache.  The 1/5 
     routine gives me good results, but the machines on which I run 
     Netscape 3.0 with Acrobat have 32 megs of memory.

Some of you wisely pointed out that I may get more help on the 
Acrobat/Netscape crashing problem we're having on our workstations if I 
gave more information on what we're using. We have about 200 Dell Pentium 
workstations w/16MB RAM, using Windows NT, Netscape 3.0, Acrobat 3.0
     
I'm told there seems to be a "caching memory shortage". I'm also 
wondering if there may be some incompatiblities with NT since the Acrobat 
Capture software we have I found out the hard way will work ONLY with 
Windows 95 and not NT.
