This is a serious question - not a flip remark:

How DOES Windose/NT allocate RAM. On a Mac you select the application and
allocate a minimum RAM size and a preferred RAM size. The computer warns
you if your minimum RAM size is just barely available but allows you to
procede. If more RAM is available the application uses all that it can.
Does NT just use all availbale RAM? Does it minimize system resource
requirements for large applications? Can you disable certain system
resources to maximize the amount of RAM available to a particular
application like a Mac?
