   No, it doesn't make it unusable, it just means that it isn't AS useable.  I 
   know, I know, if it's too slow just buy more memory, but that just seems like
   throwing money at the problem, not really solving its shortcomings - kind of
   like putting a larger gastank in your car to increase its range rather than
   tuning it up.  You'll also notice that an Amiga with only CHIP RAM can be
   doggy slow at times, but all it takes is 1/2 Meg of FAST RAM to make it 
   nice and responsive.

RAM is cheap boys and girls.  The transition is nearly complete.

64K -> 640K -> 16MB.
