The problem is that software trails hardware by 18 months. By the time the software catches up, the hardware is discontinued. Then the cycle starts all over again. I still have a 'puter that runs Win98 and it does things I can't do in XP so I keep it around even though it's a 233 Mhz Pentium.
I bought a Dell server last year for work with 6 gigs of RAM. Windows Server 2000 could only see 4 gigs of it. To see it all would cost a huge price increase from MS. So we just use 4 gigs for now.
I wish the hardware race would take a break for a couple of years and let the software catch up so we can get the return on our harware investments that we should.
