Memory capacity is largely about chip size, and the 2300AD humans are mentioned as loving miniaturisation. Also, one of the adventures describes a station's computer, and it's basically ribbons laid out on the walls, working in some massively parallel way, and you add peripherals by simply stuffing the plug into a handy ribbon - the computer dynamically adjusts to make the connection work (i.e. no need to find an I/O socket, just plug directly into the computer ribbon).

This is not a culture with poor computer tech (especially as the stutterwarp needs a hefty computer to run it).
