Older systems might not have enough memory, but newer ones can't hardly be bought with less then 2Gb. Read the specs before you write such nonsense about "ridiculous" memory amounts. > bulk of the installed base of machines accessed by users is still > in the 512M-1G range True, buth those systems don't qualify for Vista nor for OpenSolaris, nor for a good ZFS based system. That's normal. Those machines are old.
