that is a widely spread myth about RAM, if the RAM is below threshold then it does have adverse impact on speed. Most modern software are so big that they heavily rely on caching take the example of linux FontConfig package, glyphs uncompressed ahead of time , a 256 mb ram hardly leaves any scope for cache. Screen:- yes I have added this in OP if screen is limiting factor, then it leaves no room for regular innovation,
My original question was, why it can't be made? and some have answered why it shouldn't be made? But I admit there is some material in second logic too
