Is my computer too small for VSTa?

I had the same problem with version 1.6. whatever I was compiling.
I was thinking that it was either because my computer was too small
(2Mb extended memory+256k which is remapped from the first Mb by the
motherboard -386sx16Mhz WITHOUT ANY 387-).

Because of this I have returned to 1.5.2. and now I remember why I don't
use it. Because gcc systematically hangs the system after 5 to 15 seconds.
In the first 5 to 10 seconds HD light flash normally, but after that nothings
happen (I have never waited more than about 10 minutes). When the system
hangs I can switch to others consoles, I can enter a login name but nothings
happens when I hit return. I can always go to the debugger screen however.

Maybe there is a port of a language that would work in the version 1.6 on
my small machine?
