Things like VMS had virtual memory restricted by various settable parameters, so it *might* run if the quotas were increased appropriately. But you'd need to know the system to make the recommendations. It wouldn't necessarily have to be a kick-a** machine to run something needing 800mb of memory. Assuming it had virtual memory and sufficient disk space, you might be able to get it to work. Albeit, the page swapping would probably kill you, but it might actually run in a finite amount of time. Virtual memory can be a cool thing if you're not in a big rush. If virtual memory didn't exist, we'd have to invent it.
