- You're lucky (so far). I had all kinds of trouble with 16mb that went
- away when I upgraded to 32. Acoording to the threads on Compuserve
- forum for MSVC++, I'm not the only one getting C1001 internal
- compiler errors.
-
- The system also regularly crashes when changing projects. Again,
- Compuserve forum monitoring shows I'm not alone.
-
- Wait 'till you start building projects of any size. I'm sure your
- 8mb ram will give you trouble.
-
- I also noticed a big improvement in compile times when upgrading
- from 16 to 32 mb. Same with another machine in the office. I
- should think that with 8mb, it's a real dog. No?
