I believe that the message did indicate that the RAM was EDO RAM. The 
advertised price of EDO RAM, is about $130 for 32MB.

Surely, that is like saying that a person is nuts, if they want to run 
Linux on anything less than a Pentium.

Not all of us are in a position to start with more RAM than we need, 
so, some of us, after having upgraded to 32MB of RAM, may find that it 
is insufficient for a new application.

The specs, on the Star Division web site, say that 32MB of RAM is 
needed. Just because they give minimum specifications, doesn't mean 
that the minimum specifications are necessarily going to be 
understated, like M$.
