I'm sitting here at work using a P166 with NT4. The only apps running
are BanYan vines networking, Beyond Mail, F-prot virus, X-Win32. Task
manager reports my memory usage is 33Mb. I have 32Mb RAM.
Its not the P100 letting you down, its the lack of RAM. Our MIS dudes are
installing NT4 on some laptops, and are having them fitted with 40Mb RAM.
