- Nope, I say it run's fine as long as You don't run several huge and bloated apps

- It depends on your hardware congfig, I have seen many 16Mb machines with NT who
- is equal in performance with OS/2 and Win95. I suggest You to read the chapters
- about optimistaion in the NT 3.51 resource kit if your having some performance
- problems with your setup.
