> Windows 98 on a 180MHz Evergreen Overclocked processor and 48MB RAM did that just fine.

No it didn't

there is a big difference in recognition accuracy between that and current state of the art systems. This isnt just a bit of incremental improvement. Todays systems are way better, but they also require a bit more processing.

Ahh well how can we forget FaceIt: the cutting edge of facial recognition. 20 years behind the curve but at least it can run on Windows 95, so that proves your point? Damn these kids with their bloated software, we got terrible results using rubbish software with 16mb of ram processing at 5 FPS and so should they!
