If you're going to do any extensive symbolic math with Mathematica, you'll need all you can get. I've run out of memory using Macsyma on a Sun 3/180 with 24MB of usable memory (real + virtual), admittedly the gist of the problem lies with Macsyma's inability to do garbage collection correctly on the Sun (at least with the version of Macsyma we're using). However, this doesn't detract from the fact that you need gobs of real plus sloooow virtual memory to do anything useful. I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if Mathematica worked well (<-- fast) with less memory. Perhaps I'm ignorant, at least I'm happy, Davin. -- Davin Yap, Dept. of Mech.
