It's amazing what you can - theoretically - achieve with 1Gb of RAM.
Robert Fuest's 1973 film adaptation of Michael Moorcock's The Final Programme (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070289/) has been chopped into ten chunks, and uploaded to YouTube by "RetrospectaVideo". (Moorcock hated the film, thought Jon Finch was miscast as Jerry Cornelius, and has held onto the film rights of his other books with a vice-like grip ever since.) You'll find the first part here:

The remaining nine parts are scattered among the links on the right side of the video on that page, which makes the business of watching the whole film in such a fashion quite fiddly. However...
Were you so inclined, you could enter the URL for each part (one at a time) into the box at http://keepvid.com, enable the Java applet to generate download links, and select the high quality .mp4 option, saving each file into a folder as you go. Then, you could knit all the parts together in...oh, I don't know...Windows Live Movie Maker or the Freemake Video Converter (http://www.freemake.com), or something, and export a single .wmv or .avi of the complete film. To watch offline, at your leisure.
(You could even - theoretically - accomplish all this on, say, a netbook with just one gigabyte of RAM, even though all the smartarse hardware reviewers hold fast to the notion that video-editing on a netbook is impossible. Hmph.)
