Yes certainly I agree, my view was based on the fact that we from SE asia
are quite close to the hardware manufacturing countries, that it is quite
possible to easily obtain what you want at a easy price, even a age old
component could probably be bought with a little searching. Possibly it
isnt like that in the west...

I too have a computer with the same amount of ram, and I agree I feel the
same.

I wish you good luck my collegue, and your project sucess, its certainly a
challenging endeavour!
