  Windows NT 4.0 Compatibility Test Tool

Thinking of making the move to NT 4.0? If you don't have a Pentium, don't even think about it. And whilst the minimum RAM requirement is 16Mb, you'll really need 32Mb to be comfortable. And even if you've got all this, Windows NT 4.0 may not support other components in your PC. Microsoft has provided a Windows NT 4.0 Compatibility Test Tool, which is available from its Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/NTWksSupport/ or on our PC User Offline CD this month. This tool examines your PC and tells you if it can support Windows NT Workstation or Server 4.0. It also provides you with a summary of detected hardware. The Test Tool requires Windows 95, or Windows NT 3.x or higher to run properly.
