When NT boots up it needs of minimum of something like 8 -12 Meg of RAM (the initial reports said 16 Meg but I think this has been revised down) just for the OS. This is not including any application software. Even with all the stuff NT is "supposed" to do, I consider this excessive. ._ _ o _ |_ _. _ | _ _ |_ _ _.
