Anyways... thats just my experience and in no way a > fact of the matter... Just letting u know... NT uses more memory, period. It's a necessary result of being a more mature OS based on the same model. BeOS uses less memory, because it's built on a new model. Linux uses varying amount of memory based on what you're running. 95 is pretty stupid, and it doesn't do much, so it can be small even though it's build inefficiently. ---------------------- mespinoz@tivoli.com ------------------------- Nothing is true; Everything is permitted. --Hassan I Sabbah --------------4536C759DE17BE7696FD619A Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="vcard.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Martin Espinoza Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vcard.vcf" begin: vcard fn: Martin Espinoza n: Espinoza;Martin org: Tivoli Systems email;internet: mespinoz@tivoli.com title: Engineer x-mozilla-cpt: ;0 x-mozilla-html: TRUE version: 2.1 end: vcard --------------4536C759DE17BE7696FD619A--
