Sure you can, but it takes a lot more work because you don't hit the limits until you run out of RAM or CPU, instead of running out of reserved chunks of RAM and because you have too many programs all spinning on the event loop. My 3000 has 1.5 MEG, and I haven't run out yet except for when I tried to run AmigaVision: which came free with the machine and given its minimum requirements of 3 MEG (!) was worth every cent. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
