- DV/X uses around 10-11 Meg of disk space and can run in 4Meg of RAM.
- You need 8Meg of RAM to multitask significant applications though.
- EGA or VGA video (no Hercules graphics support is available) is required.
- I don't think the 286 version has been released so a 386 is the
- base CPU. Lots of RAM and fast I/O (disk and video) contribute more
- to good performance than faster CPUs and I am satisfied with a
- 386SX-33, 8Meg RAM and a 0 wait state ET4000 VGA card.
