I have OS/2 running like a dream in 8 megs.  I have no problems with multimedia
either.  Supporting all of OS/2's multimeida functions requires memory though
and if you're only running on 4 megs, then MM would really be a waste.  An
8 meg system is perfectly capable of running OS/2 quickly and reliably (I
prove this every day).
