Those of us messing around at the 48MB point aren't actually expecting people to use such a system! Currently available new hardware is mostly 4GB or more, with a handful of systems (mostly cheap laptops) at 2GB. All my 2007/2008 vintage test boxes have at least 4GB. The interesting thing is people trying to re-use 10-year old boxes. It's probably worth clarifying 32-bit support. I recall Alexander saying recently that it had been effectively dropped, I'm not sure exactly what that means. (I know that OI hasn't really supported 32-bit for a while, I think 64-bit only X was the tipping point.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
