That's wierd.  I have a P3 700 Mhz compaq armada with 320 MB of ram, and
Zend Studio 2.6 b runs fast on my system, and I average around 50-60 gui
apps per session: at least 3 emacs windows, divided again into multiple
buffers, 10-12 aterms, evolution, mozilla (5-6 copies), gaim, xchat,
openoffice (3-4 copies), straw, and then any non-standard programs on
top of that.  I'm not even counting the shell programs I run regularly,
vi, ssh, gcc, autoconf, find, apt-get.  Any operating system that can't
handle Zend Studio with those specs, should be taken out and shot.

As for os independence, it supports FreeBSD, OSX, Linux and Windows
flawlessly; I don't know what you define as platform independent, but
that combination works for me :-)
