RE: <I'm pulling Microsoft's own data, which said that 64M is the recommended system, and that it may require less.>

The NT folks at MS are still surly about how much memory their product requires ever since they first launched NT in the midst of the last dram shortage. They can recommend whatever they want but box makers won't ship their products that way. I've got a 64 MB NT4 machine in my office and I've been after my IT people to add memory because NT4 sucks with 64 MB. (I've recently got a W98 machine in my den with 256 MB and that is really nice!)

You can be sure that W2K boxes will ship with at least 128 MB if not much more. (Assuming they can get the dram of course.)
