:>The way Microsoft is going, you're going to

:Do you really think we're going to need 4GB of memory or more THAT soon?
:Yes, we'll need lots of memory, but right now 128 MB is outrageous and even
:going to ONE gig is pretty much in the realm of science fiction for most of
:us.

Actually, I was told just the other day that Windows NT requires 64 Meg
to run properly. Our new 4 CPU boxes will likely not be comfortable with
less than 128 Meg, and that's before we crank up any big customer
applications (which, luckily, won't be for a while).

I find it either amusing or scary (I'm never sure which) that today's
CPU's have more on-chip cache than my first computer could address.
