YDL 4.0 vs. 32MB RAM?

[Corbett Battaile]

I know it's easier said than done, but I'd have to go along with the "Buy 
more RAM" suggestion. You can get a 256MB module for around $40. I suspect 
you could probably get by with installing YDL 4.0 on the stock 6GB hard 
drive, but I'm not positive about that...

If you've never poked around inside a CRT iMac, installing memory might 
seem like a pain, but it's really not so bad.
