I find that had to imagine as I was running Warp with a DX2-66 and 8mbs
and I still found it quite snappy as long as I didn't want to load more
than about 3 - 4 programs at once.

I'm now running a DX4-100 with 16Mb with MMOS/2 and the IAK and its
still snappy with 8 programs open.

more and more people seem to be doing that.  using a boot manager setup
and using Win95 for those windows programs they _have_ to run especialy
the win32 ones and using Warp for everything else.

Cheers
