No it's not. Hard drives are already up to 100GB at a reasonable price, not to mention RAID machines. 128MB of RAM has been small for a while now.<br>And It wants all that extra space for the swap files. It assumes you'll be using 500 billion programs at once, I bet.<br>Last modification: Moose Master - 03/29/01 at 16:37:36

What are they supposed to do, keep coding for people that only have a p90.  I agree that it is a bit hefty, but PC's have come along way.  I cetainly never thought I'd be sitting at a 1.3GHz computer with 1GB RAM, but guess what, I am.
