MUI runs fine in 2MB. Just keep your screen depth LOW. 8 colours
should do it. But that makes using IBrowse or Voyager pretty much
a useless experience ;)

Drop the buffers on each to 15 or so.

AmIRC and STRICQ (although I'd shift to Jabberwocky if I were you) will
be fine in 2MB. If you have Miami, make sure you set "Kill GUI" when it
goes online.

I remember running all kinds of stuff in 2MB - I know people running
AmIRC on an A600 with no expansions ;)
