Actually it may be 4Megs that it needs...i have a boxed version around somewhere I should look it up. I know it needs less than 8megs. You have to keep in mind that win 3.1 was just a shell on top of DOS and that that win95 was meant to run on 486's (and higher end 386's) so it couldn't really DEMAND a big memory footprint. It helped that back in 95/96 MS wasn't as big a percentage of the market.

Let that get down to about 25MB free and you have real problems. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
