If you get memory, fine, you'll be able to Yes. I disagree - unless you have a lot of files that you really want to keep on something besides floppies (like a hard drive) I would go for more RAM, and bear in mind that NOTHING says you have to turn the computer OFF just because you go to sleep at night. It's like running a light bulb - it won't break the bank, and you'll have all yer programs in RAM ready to multitask or flip to when you need 'em.
