Exactly my point. Once Outcast is loaded and running it tends to be OK
if you don't cause extreme swapping. It's quicker to use it than to try
and find a solution that works with all those proprietary M$ protocols.

A while back I bought a gig of RAM, it cost me less than 87 GBP, so
about $125. I would imagine you could add another 256M for a very small
outlay if it were necessary.
