OT: paging MAC expert(s) --- What's a Performa?

I've drawn the conclusion that the only real memory-hog is the Netscape browser.
A couple of folks have advised me to install a 32MB simm for that purpose alone.
It would certainly be a shame to make the system buckle when browsing just
because it lacks RAM.

Does anyone know otherwise? It would be a waste to invest in expanding the RAM
if it's unwarranted, though I've never heard complaints about too much RAM.
