Truly, my flabber has been ghasted. I think maybe it's time to upgrade
the P166+ 48Mb RAM 'main desktop & development' machine I have :) 

Even at work, I only have 128Mb. 

So, how long do we think this is going to last? What's more, what's
going to happen when RDRAM starts coming down? (As it surely must do
when Intel ramp up P4 units)

Cheers,

Alex.
