While precompiling the SDK, gcc can easily eat up 350 megabytes of RAM.

Good to know, trough I had preffer to disable the plugin rather than disabling precomp headers.

Look, Germany is currently the most cheap (western) country to buy electronic devices. Most things are even more cheap than in USA.
So, keep in mind that in other countries, the word "not expensive" doesn't apply there.
Here, for example, every "ElCheapo" PC from a supermarket has 128 MB these days, and thanks to the monetary and importing differences, it can be even a lot more expensive than what can be 1GB in Germany.
I wanted to buy one stick more, but my motherboard is very conflictive (advice: never buy a mobo with ATI northbridge chipset).

You can get 1GB Kingston PC3200 DDR400 at newegg for $77.55 US. You have to pay extra for shipping...

Thanks, but here $77.55 US isn't the definition of "cheap".
If you account that the currency here is almost 1US$ = 3,10$ (or 1€ = almost 4$), and without accounting shipping, it would be something like ($77.55*3,10)*2, so it would cost $480. And that without accounting shipping.
And here the salaries are simmilar in number (ie. typical salary there is 800US$, and typical salary here is 800$).

That proves that you have never been anywhere near Germany... :lol:
Hardware is at least 25% more expensive than in the USA.
For example a 512 MB 533 Mhz Kingston DDR2 ValueRAM DIMM costs 59-69 dollars in the USA.
In Germany, the exact same DIMM costs 69-89 Euros. 1 Euro = 1.2 dollars.
Nevertheless, if someone intends to develop software, that's a price one has to pay. You just can't do any serious development on a 128 MB machine, unless your project is entirely trivial. Compilers eat RAM like candy...
