Editorial "640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates, 1981. "64 bit is coming to desktops,there is no doubt about that, But apart from Photoshop, I can't think of desktop applications where you would need more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory, which is what you have to have in order to benefit from this technology." It seems to me that by the time it ships, Longhorn will need 4 gigs of RAM.

Hm.

Let me help you!

Many content creation tools will benefit from 4gig+ of physical memory, including Adobe, Macromedia and software from the likes of Steinberg and Emagic.

Hope that helps. ;-)
