Yes. I remember as well. "Why 128 MB RAM in that workstation? Are you sure we need that much? It costs!" > Today my desktop has 8gb - and I am thinking about 16 in the next 12 month. What for? Just to get back to the initial topic of the thread ;-) In fact I don't even feel very adventurous with those 64 GB per server ... the hardware/board would allow 128 GB and the OS/app even more ... It somehow shifts ... back then 64/96/128/256 MEGAbytes were BIG, now we just get used to swap the unit: GIGAbytes, yeah, *yawn* .... ;-) Stefan
