Oh, we got here still quite a few (mostly Pentium 4, but also Athlon's) systems with only 512 MB of RAM. They _are_ due to be replaced soon, though. And my old Athlon XP 1800+ at home also still has 512 MB or RAM (but a 80 GB "first disk" plus 2 Ultra-160 SCSI disks of 73 GB, you can see I mostly use it for file processing, not calculating power). -- ******************************************************************* ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.
