The RAM Limbo

How low can you go? 

My new PC mistakenly arrived with only 256MB RAM.  It's running on a Pentium 4 
2.8 GHz CPU, and the RAM itself runs at 2.79GHz, so it's not the same as 256MB 
RAM on an older PC. But I've been pleasantly suprised by the performance of 
WDSCi 5.1.2 on 256MB RAM. It hasn't locked up or crashed yet, and response 
times are really pretty good as long as I don't have other programs fighting 
for the CPU.  This is a dramatic change from the time I tried to run WDSCi 5.0 
on 256MB RAM on an older PC.

Of course, I wouldn't recommend WDSCi at 256MB RAM.  I'm getting 1G RAM very 
soon.

Thanks,
Kelly
