Possibly. However, the total size the original poster described was
102 MB. If this much memory is not available on his computer, then
the poster has more serious problems. I regularly keep 512 MB on a
thumbnail sized device that fits in my pocket.

I think it's worth keeping it simple until simple doesn't work.
