- I can imagine MUI running just fine on a 2MB machine. But other software
- running at the SAME TIME? Hmm, that'll be a close call.
-
- Also, to buffer even some of the simplest WEB pages in RAM for effecient
- scrolling will take nearly 512 kilobytes. Even AWeb, which is quite
- effecient requires nearly this much space.
-
- Unless Voyager/BlazeBrowse/Mindwaker/whatever has some sort of virtual
- memory support for low memory situations, it won't be a viable solution in
- 2MB.
