After examining the entries for IRTC June 1998, it appears 128MB
is the going standard for Pentium machines.

After having POV-pi choke on a current image (a big blob),
I just bought an extra 64MB to boost my current 64MB.  The cost
from Sam's Computer was something like $80.... not bad for
such a substantial upgrade.
