This is assuming you are > doing moderate to complex stuff and you want to run them comfortably. I have heard many > suggest getting at least 32MBs of RAM to begin with for LW, and 64MBs of RAM for MAX. MAX will actually run on Win95 too for the thrifty. Version 1.1 is supposed to make it even more stable under 95. Most people I have heard running it under 95 are using it with 16-32megs of RAM. Yes MAX wants a Pentium CPU though. I ran it on NT with a P75 myself for a while and it ran fine. I would say 48megs is the best beginning for MAX, not 64. Even though NT is RAM hungry it is very efficient with what is left over. > BTW, I thought NT's footprint was 12MBs? It actually depends, 12megs would be the very bare minimum of NTs footprint, 20megs is more about what it hogs up for general use. It is a pig, but it is a VERY nice pig :) Jeff -- Student Programmer 3 Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design Emerging Technology Studio
