now. She has an old 486/66/16 and wants to buy a new computer. She
feels that 32 MB RAM is twice as much as she has now and will take her a
long time down the road and feels that there is no way she would ever
need 64, much less more than 64. Does anyone remember the real jump in
memory usage from DOS to Windows to Win 95 to name any Win 95 app? Gosh
what is the jump from Word 6.0 to Office 97? My very first computer
only had 64k on it and I may be old but I'm not that old. I think it
makes much more sense for anyone, especially those who use VR, to buy as
open ended a system as possible because I think it is impossible to
predict what the real RAM requirements of software even a year from now
will be.
