Dunno if my apparatus is a bit on the old side (1 GHz w 64MB of RAM) but then again, I've had my machine do the "auto-reboot-from-hell" (as I have named it, clever me) from flash files under 200KB. I think in my case it's not about memory at all, rather about BAD programming. It's kinda funny (or the opposite, actually) that all the products tend to be buggy- as-hell is they're from a company that has a name with a "-soft" -suffix.

But then again, I see a lot more unnecessary javascript action than flash, but flash is bound to spread out a lot in a year or so. Bad thing, that.
