Might surprise you that I earn my living writing C and C++ (mostly C these days on embedded). Obviously you have never seen good C++ code, as most would-be C++ programmers manage to write code that uses C++ features because it is new and they want to try it, and not because the C++ feature makes sense. And to counter the point that most PC's have 2GB mem anyway: The origin of my rant is that I was looking into running SS on a lower spec system (mainly fanless/low noise/you get the picture) or even my NAS. You can just forget about running it on anything with less than 512MB. I bet the people that are not complaining here are also very happy with Vista - the main reason most new PC's have 2GB in the first place. I will try to do some tests without plugins later, but I do not think the mem usage will change an order of magnitude because of them. -- Pétur Alternative free open source firmware for your mp3 player - http://www.rockbox.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pétur's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=363 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50698
