Speaking of, I just remembered that file sizes are often determined by a processor's width. Everybody with 32-bit file indicies was in an uproar not long ago because 2/4GB of raw video is almost worth less than a database with a 2/4GB limit. :) Video is a great field for being able to take advantage of any memory available. 3D graphics, too, I imagine, now that models in movies and such are made up of millions upon millions of verticies. Hmm, what else. Measurement/testing equipment eats memory alive. Some of the newer equiment takes gigasamples per second. Any sort of CAD/CAM on extremely complex things like ASICs... I'm probably forgetting a dozen other things here. -Tom
