   The Max RAM on the G3  seems to be 1 GB whilst the Ferarri can can have 2 GB RAM.
   My AMD64 PC did use about 800 MB RAM while compiling/building Ports in 64 bit mode.
   Most of that was probably buffer cache.
   But if you want to run VMWare or similar  and an additional OS concurrently I dont like the 1 GB
   limit.
