- The 90 MB sounds a little bit high... NT installed on my system in
- about 35 MB, which I trimmed down to 22. I left the 20 MB swapfile,
- so the total size is about 40 MB. It does need 8MB RAM, and right
- only seems available on CD-ROM. Performance is about 20% slower than
- OS/2 2.0 right now, but the code is improving... You could probably
- shave NT down a bit further if you were willing to get "creative"
- OS/2 needs 6-8 MB to run more than 2 applications with reasonable
- speed, so the RAM differences aren't to important.
- Hope that helps ---- Jim.
