- Basically, memory is a LARGE limiting factor with msvc4. I don't see where a 486DX2 would be
- a problem ... its the memory you might want to reconsider. I had 16M on this machine at one
- point. Compiling our project (completely) took around 25 minutes. When I upgraded to 28M
- (yeah, I know, odd amount) it brought the compile time down to under 10 minutes. I'd hate to
- try and compile this on only 8M ... But, its doable.

- Of course, once you start doing subprojects, and resource editing, you'll see your HD go
- ballistic trying to keep with your VM requests.
