Oh, I'm aware that NT does USE more, as Sean mentioned. I have just found, after working on close to ten systems I've built, and some others I didn't build, that the leaks inherent in the 95/98 model make the minimums to run hard to compare. In other words, starting with the same total RAM, 95/98 (though 98 has improved on this slightly) systems running the same programs as their NT counterparts tend to lose memory and either crash or require re-boots quite frequently. I almost never have this kind of problem in systems running NT. (And I have run side by side comparisons, using identical configurations, hardware, etc.) In trading machines, this is accelerated, and the crashes come much more often in the 95/98 boxes. (I HAVE applied the memory leak patches to the 95 systems.) This has been my experience. I'm bewildered that Sean, obviously much more of an expert than me, hasn't seen this. Maybe I need a 1-900-ASK SEAN tech support call.
