Took the list to my manager, who looked it over for all of about a minute before approving the necessary memory upgrade. In a former employment, which had absolutely no shortage of cash to throw at things, but also had absolutely no concept of the differing requirements of R&D engineers vs anyone else for whom a PC was an integral part of their daily working life, I distinctly remember spending all of about 10 minutes jotting down a quick list of all the time my under-specced PC was costing me, and thus the company, due to having to wait for it to do stuff that it really ought to have been able to do far faster if only it'd been configured with the appropriate amount of memory for the tools I was running on it, as opposed to the appropriate amount for running the generic set of tools that everyone in the company was presumed to be using - Word, Excel, Lotus Notes (shudder) etc. Depends on where you sit relative to the problem the lack of investment is causing.
