OS3.5 will run in a 4M fast setup... the question is how. :) Its just the
same with the "minimum" requirements for other OS', no names needed.

12M on the other hand is pretty much, what are you doing? :)

"Where all the memory goes" is hard to answer. A program showing which task
uses what memory and which amount would need to patch into the OS' memory
allocation/deallocation functions, take the stacksize into account as
well, etc. I know of no program that does real memory tracking.
