16megs is the minimum to run W95 in my experience and it runs much better
with 32m. It's a pig.
<My P200 machine, when with only 32 meg, swapped itself to pieces it seemed

<64 meg I now can go for several weeks until needing a restart to recover.
It's called memory leaks. Seems some applications do not return resources
to the pool as do some win95 drivers. often it can be tracked to one bad
driver.
And to think my uVAXII is still running with the 9meg that I used to
service a half dozen users plus network activity.
