- If you are going to run out of RAM in any case (like me), then by a MCA based
- IBM PS/2. I have an ISA machine with 16 MB (486/33MHz) and my friend's
- PS/2 (486/25MHz/16MB) blows my machine when both are running a process
- that has about 40 MB image. Quite a big difference in channel speeeds...
- BTW the code does not produce any output to the screen, pure number chrunching.
-
- Well, I seriously consider buying 16MB more RAM for my machine...
