Yet at the same time, the computing power in the average household has gone up tremendously. Most users are no longer running 500 MHz processors but rather 2.0 and greater GHz dual core and quad core processors. Available system RAM is now usually a minimum of 2 GB on 32-bit systems and 4 GB or more on 64-bit systems. You can put the "on-the-fly" computation into the same bucket as the promised source conversion tool.
