I used to use OS/2 on a 486/25 with 8MB of RAM. And, it was FINE for running it without any other programs also being run. But, like you said, when you load up AMIPRO, or any other necessary task for most people, it swaps like hell. How can you consider an OS good if it has to swap to disk so much for a word processor? It truly needs 16MB of RAM to be reliably usable for the average person and more for a business user. NT will also run in 8MB of RAM just like OS/2 although it will swap a lot more. I also think that the bare minimum for NT is 16MB. John
