    Data point: P3 600MHz, 384 MB memory. I use Eclipse 3.0 to develop Swing
    applications. Eclipse runs fine.

    Recently I tried to use Eclipse on the same machine with only 128 MB of
    memory; usable, if one doesn't mind intermittent periods, up to two or
    three minutes long every half-hour or so, of complete nonresponsiveness.

but there are far too many nonsense-spouting anarchists or idiots who
think that pranks are a revolution.
