Once more, when running any Windows version (including 9x), I again
recomend that you turn off the swap file unless you want a slow system.
Besides, Win 3.11 *is* better on multitasking.

More than 64MB is too much.

32 is enough and will not make your system slow and unstable if you turn
off the swap file. (If you are using graphics and/or games this may be too
little but it's enough for Office and InterNet applications).

Me too (at times), and that worked fine even with 16MB RAM under Windows
NT on a P120 (once again no swap). What programs was I running? Office 97,
Netscape, mIRC and the usual stuff (Explorer, WinAMP etc.)
And did I mention that I often use up all 10 windows in Netscape?

I thought Corel always released their new programs without beta testing
(Corel 5 was the bugfix for Corel 4 for instance with more added features
and bugs).
