Peter,

8mb. is pretty antideluvian and threadbare. 32mb. of onboard video memory has been a
standard baseline for many years, and of course the cards being sold today go up to
256mb. or more. (O.K., I know the over 64mb. ones are of most use to Win-gamers . .

That won't make it adequate. I think it may be more a function of the complexity and
contents of so many web pages these days, which your browser is going to have to deal
with (unless you move to Lynx) . . . but what do I know ?

Not guilty. Most of the Moz versions I've put on since 1.3 -- including 1.7.2 --
have been left to do this.
