Time to load up OS2/warp.

Got SFC running on that yet Strat. :D

Are you kidding? You know how much RAM that's going to require? An insane 32KB of RAM is just well beyond todays capabilities I'm afraid :P

Microsoft should rerelease Windows 2000Pro.  It would fly as the whole OS would be in the processors cache.

Or to be very clever, the voyager space craft, which has a mere 8kb or memory (or some rediculously low number), and has been running for some 40 years.. All without a security update...  :laugh:

Regards,

I may have exxagerated  a little.  However most of what is installed is fluff and not in memory at any given time.  Take my netbook for example with Win 7  on it, the OS is on the C: drive ( everything else, even the swap is in a different partition) it takes 18.5 GB but not nearly that much RAM.  If 2000 Pro is too much go back to 98SE or 95b.
