"Mo' mem'ry! Mo' mem'ry!"
Who was it that said 640 *kilobytes* was more memory than anyone would ever need? Ha!
A co-worker of mine has a relatively new computer, with 256 Mb of memory, and running MyEclipse brings it to its knees. When a code rebuild takes about an hour, it's too long. So some of us are getting memory upgrades instead of getting system upgrades.
Gad, I can remember when I shelled out something obscene for *1* megabyte of memory. I think I had it on layway, too. That was in 1990-91.
I'm not as impacted, but I'm spending most of my time staring at code, trying to study it, and feeling like I'm getting nowhere.
I think I'll go find a nice warm corner, curl myself up in a little ball, and go to sleep. (Sometimes I think my cats have it made.)

Supposedly, Vista can utilize flash memory as RAM.

Say WHAT? Has the fact that M$ has been getting away with claiming they can require every byte that goes over the system data bus to go through software encryption/decryption and still deliver acceptable performance convinced them they can claim anything at all end get away with it?
