Hi again, Haven't heard from me in a while, huh? Thanks to all who replied- your inform- ation was very helpful. I finally was successful at fitting generated data; now I have to figure a way at importing data from a LeCroy scope into Math. without crashing my system (there are about 10,000 points per trace). However, I think I'll be able to figure something out. I have another question- I have 14 megabytes of RAM in my computer. What is the most advantageous way of utilizing all this, in terms of speed. For example, is it a good idea to create a RAM disk, say 4 or 6 megs large, and make that a "tempfile"? I notice that for 3D plots and large calculations, Mathematica hits the hard drive a lot. My version is for Windows, so I know that there is memory management, but is there a way to do everything in RAM and less (or nothing) on the hard drive? Once again, thanks for your time. Sincerely, Dan Kefford
