It would be interesting to know if word wrap is turned on or off. This makes a humongous difference in some editors, especially notepad++. Turn it off and you can easily open 1GB files, turn it on and it will crash on the same file.

More realistic hardware would also be interesting. He doesn't even have SSD...
