Well I had 512 mb ram but one half collapsed (Is it the ram itself or is it the slot? Does ram dies?). I'm still able to run 0.81 with slow loading. Very slow: before a battle I can do the washing up, prepare some tea, have a phone call, play with the cat... and not get addicted to the game (I have to work anyway).
