- I have a 25mhz VXL /no FPU and 2 megs of 32bit ram. I also have 2 megs of
- 16bit ram. I usually copy the KS into 32 bit ram, too. If I only use the 32
- bit ram, the machine is still usable, but there isn't enough memory to do more
- than 2 or 3 things at a time. If I use my 16bit ram, I have more things
- running, but some go slower due to where in ram they are. 8 megs of 32 bit
- ram would be nice, but for general home use, I don't think you need it (unless
- you like rendering :-).
