- When you see a memory requirement always bump it up by 4M. Last time I
- looked at VC++ on a 16M machine it was slow like a snail. I think it
- was 2.0. I would bet 4.0 is even hungrier.

- The same goes true for Borland - the more memory you have the happier
- it is. But on my 486/8M home machine BC++ 4.5 is very useable,
- especially if no OWL is used. Even with OWL, once precompiled headers
- are created compile times are very good on 8M systems.

- Hope this helps, Alex
