Dan, Win95 machines can run on 8-12MBs, but they use large swapfiles for virtual memory. WinCE does not, so everything is really running in that 8-12MB space.

Anyway, yeah, WinCe 1.0 ran on 2-4MBs, so 8-12 for CE 2.x is a huge jump.

Btw, that's 8-12MB for HPCs, which have the largest footprints. CE is also being made for a variety of smaller devices where much less memory is required.

>>>12meg for Wince? Sheesh, isn't Windows95 supposed to run in that?

Windows NT 3.1 ran well in that. OS2 server 1.2 also. And Unix 5.3, MacOS, and mainframe OS/DOS, and ...

Well, that's progress.

Cheers,
