- Definately don't install with only 4 megs. Upgrade to 6 megs and then install.
- When you can afford to go to 8 megs do it. I have run OS/2 on 5,6, and 8 megs.
- 6 is atleast the minimum. You'll be able to multi-task OS/2 and DOS programs
- but don't try to multitask Windows. Only give you a headache. In my opinion
- OS/2 is worth what it cost to upgrade your system.
