I agree, we might as well drop the words "with 1GB of more of RAM". That's the size of the very smallest cloud instances available these days, available for free or up to a few bucks a month, and for physical servers I wonder if you can still get DIMMs that small. -- Thomas Munro http://www.enterprisedb.com
