- You only need to buy 4Mb (for a total of (Mb) if your not intend to use
- several monster (read office) apps like Word6 at the same time.
-
- I runned NT WS fine in 8Mb only after disabling the automatic load of the
- Win16 subsystem.
-
- Disabling WoW saves about 4-6 Mb in NT.
-
- Disable it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/Current
- Version/Winlogon/Userinit: REG_SZ : userinit,nddeagnt.exe,win.com wowexec
-
- Just remove win.com wowexec from the above registry key.
-
- Now NT runs OK in only 8Mb if You don't use to many huge apps!
