Linux is fast with 128 megs. It is much faster with
256 and when you put 384 in it really starts to cook.
I imagine that a 'hammer with a gig of ram would
pretty much do everything right as the thought to do
it first crossed your mind.
Imagine a world where X and netscape don't push you
into swap even though you've got enough ram to power a
small third world nation.
Perhaps Gnome will finially be nimble....but I am just
dreaming now forgive me ;-)
