Mac Oh Ess Ex

so a friend of mine got an old white macbook. Doesn't have the greatest processor or an immense amount of RAM. We wanted to see what it would take to make this computer freeze.
He opened all of the following applications:
RAM-heavy apps are marked*

- iChat with the Screenshare function and voice chat*
- Quicktime streaming a 1080p video online**
- Safari with three tabs open
- Photobooth
- Skype (with a running video chat)
- Address book
- iCal
- Preview
- iTunes (with a song playing)
- iPhoto
- iMovie*
- iDVD
- GarageBand*
- Logic***
- Microsoft Word
- Powerpoint
- MSN messenger
- TextEdit

We ran all that and i was still able to watch the 1080p video on my screen which was running off his screen. No choppyness, no lag. No freeze at all. The fan went pretty crazy but that's about it. Proof:
