Back when I was using a 16MB P5/100, I got X running and doing the simplest things, like running the calculator program, would cause the machine to swap like mad. Yeah, I guess it worked, but I wouldn't call it usable. (Wasn't as bad as when I tried to run OS/2 2 with 4MB RAM... doing _anything_ would trigger a 5 minute swap-fest.) This was at a time when Win9x worked with 4MB (albeit not well) and NT worked with 16MB. -Tom
