- You'll have plenty of time to dream with only 6 MB. :-)
-
- We have two systems with TCP/IP, X, and NFS. One has 8 MB, the other
- has 9 MB. The 8 MB system has a 386DX-40. The 9 MB system has a
- 386DX-25. Guess which is faster? The 9 MB system. The 9 MB is
- sufficient; the 8 MB is too painful.
