>>Oh yeah, it really screams??? From the reviews I've read it barely >>runs on a 16 mb machine, has little software available for it, but does >>sport a spiffy interface! >I personally don't think it 'kicks anything else' as far as speed goes It does kick anything else if you want to get any real work done (For games stick to DOS). If you are running NEXTSTEP/Intel in color you should put AT LEAST 24MB of RAM in your machine. I have 40MB in my PC and NEXTSTEP runs quite nicely. If you can't afford a reasonable amount of memory, it will run A LOT better in 2 bit gray-scale mode instead of color. The only time my PC runs anything but NEXTSTEP is when it's running DOOM.
