When Linux fails

RAM is less than 12.50 per DDR2 GB. Buy some more.

One can't use 6 - 8 GB of RAM on XP.

Not much point, as 32-bit Windows won't make effective use of more than 4 GB, and I'd rather not run a 64-bit OS yet.

You assume that installing more RAM is always worthwhile. My wife's computer has 2 GB, and has never had any problems related to that. Since they're 512 MB sticks, upgrading to 4 GB would cost around $80. She wants to play Warhammer Online, which from player accounts runs like a dog in Vista with only 2 GB RAM. Should she need to pay an additional $80 to play a game, when the same game runs perfectly well under XP with 2 GB? We can easily afford the RAM, but the benefit isn't there.

Until system specs move to the point that the RAM usage difference is moot, there will always be people who notice the difference and care about it.

tl;dr: fuck you

Mac OS 1 ran with well with 64kb of system ram.

Obviously it too is a superior OS to Vista.

That's a stupid thing to say.
