That's FUD. Older systems might not have enough memory, but newer ones
can't hardly be bought with less then 2Gb. Read the specs before you
write such nonsense about "ridiculous" memory amounts.

True, buth those systems don't qualify for Vista nor for OpenSolaris,
nor for a good ZFS based system. That's normal. Those machines are old.
Not too old for ancient filesystems and lightweight desktops, but the
-are- too old for modern software.
