Anyways, I'm running on a 48MB machine and even DSL and tinycore had problems with such a low amount, which is somewhat disturbing for the preservation of technology.</div> <div> </div> <div>> and at times rather finicky ways to extended this amount for application running on top of DOS.</div> <div> </div> <div> what would be the maximum? 32 bits can address 4GB, 16 bits would be 64KB (which is definetely NOT enough for everyone :D) so it's already kind of a hack to have anything in between.. <div> (snip) First thing you need to do when asking such a question is make it more readable, not muddy with HTML codes.
