A+ for, eventually, coming to the obvious solution. Although, personally, I haven't had a quad core yet all the computers I currently have running are either laptops or dual cores. The minimum RAM size on any of these 5 boxes is 2GB. I'd be surprised to find that anyone working as a full time developer has any (non-virt) boxes that are spec'd less than that. And yes, shockingly, developers will test on the machines they have easy access to. So, yeh, if _you_ want to support slower machines ... _you_ will have to do the work, you might get help from the community but just ranting on f-d-l "Everyone should solve my problems" is unlikely to actually help.
