- A 'tonne' of RAM? It runs VERY well in 16MB and about the same as
- Windows 95 in 8MB (if you've got all the networking support et al
- turned on in Win95.) It runs VERY well on a good 486/66 or better.

- It runs fine on PREP PowerPC machines, including more recent
- RS6000 models, runs on MIPS machines and an in-house port to HP
- PA-RISC was done ages ago. If the demand for PA-RISC or other
- platforms increases, they will happen as well.
-
- If you aren't using your Cray because it can't run NT I'll give it
- a good home. On the other hand, you might want to try being
- realistic instead.
