OK, not galaxy collision simulation - how about a
scanner?
If you're not adept, it's easy to mistakenly scan at twice
the resolution, eating gobs of RAM.
I know, I've worked as a layout assistant.
But why would scanning mistakes affect the memory requirements of an OS, and
128 MB at that? When I worked a scanner all day long, it was on a comnputer
with probably half that amount.
If 128M is indeed the recommendation, it's not just
for
the OS, it's a recommended amount - and nothing more.
It may be there just to sell memory.
As long as it's just a recommendation, all right. Just as long as isn't a
requirement.
