512MB is more than enough for "ordinary" graphical duties...

Blimey you guys are greedy, when I was a lad we used to have to get up half an hour before we went to bed *and* get by on 32Mb running System V. My Unix desktop had two 16Mb cards that cost (wait for it) $1600 each, I.E $100/Mb. Mind you that was only shortly after 80Mb disks for Vax systems used to be shipped from the States in a plywood box 3'x2'x2' (note: 80*M*byte!). We thought 32Mb of RAM was outrageously generous especially when others thought 640K ought to be enough for anybody.

Sigh I miss the bad<del><del><del>good old days. ;-)
