Maybe 64Mb is the new "standard" for *new* machienes. However, there are
many, many computers out there with "old" standard amounts of memory -
and these machienes are not *that* old that they should be scrapped -
especially seeing that they do everything perfectly well except to deal
with Mozilla Memory Hog!

IF N4.x can run perfectly well on a 32MB machiene, and IF it can run on
an 8mb machiene (albeit really slow) then N6 should be able to do the
same - because it's doing the very same task!
