Gm. Running a machine that was something amazing when bought, but nothing
spectacular now, not being upgraded since then - 466MHz, 64 RAM, 9 Gb HDD, 6
years old monitor (just love that one), 32 MB video RAM. As there's only one
game I really play much, and this isn't like Quake, which takes resources, I
can live with this. For development, this is thus far enough, at least in
Windows. When I work on Linux Kernel, will probably want to add another 64
MB to my RAM.
