Doren; The use of virtual memory does indeed allow assorted OSs to run on less memoery than optimal. I would suspect that if you took out some RAM and crippled your system to , say 16 meg, you would find that everything still runs, but it takes longer. How?, by swapping as per Win95. There will be a size below which the swaps are so extensive as to preclude any real use(except for patient types), and eventually the system will not run anything, but will just load. Any less and it wil not load.
