OS 4.0 Requirements

[GadgetMaster]

Win 95 was not an OS but a GUI for DOS.

No 'modern' OS that would perfom efficiently with Just 4MB of RAM.

Define fine

I mean exactly what day to day desktop computing operations do you perform on that machine with 4MB ram?

@MikeyMike

I don't know much about the price of fish but the statement that "OS/4 is not that much different than NT" is a bit fishy, not least because OS4 isn't even available to you for comparison.

Having similar minimum memory requirements does not mean that the memory handling and performance will be the same.

Then again I probably misunderstood you anyway.

Also I think I mixed up Win 95 with Win 3.1 actually. All those darn MS OSs seem the same to me ;-)

It was Windows 3.x that was just a front end for DOS ...gotta remember my computing history. :-?

IIRC Win 3.x could not be installed untill DOS was installed first.

@Downix

I have a feeling you knew exactly what I meant and you are purposely being pedantic just to keep this conversation lively.

I have no qualms with that so I won't bother rephrasing my statement. ;-)

@MikeyMike

I think i did misunderstand you then.

BTW does anyone know if there is there a limit on the amount of memory that can be used as a RAM disk? Is there a percentage that must remain free?
