You'll want to have a *minimum* of 32MB of RAM if you are going to use
Windows NT. The OS itself will consume 12MB right off the top, leaving
you with only 4MB of real memory. You'll be thrashing rather badly, even
running a single application.
I use a Gateway P5-90 at work, and it has 32MB of RAM. If I get LightWave
rendering in the background and Visual C++ compiling in the foreground,
well I've got Thrash City. My Pentium machine begins to run and respond
slower than my 486/33 at home.
It's funny how Microsoft's products don't seem to get smaller and more
efficient as they come out with new versions. Give 'em more RAM and they'll
fill it up just as fast as you can install it.
