Or so they claim. Has anyone actually seen NT running on the MT3620 or equivalent? Can it run with 4 MB of RAM?

- pjmlp 8y agoWindows has an HAL, already targeted multiple architectures, and once upon a time 4 MB were good enough for NT. Likewise making Linux fit into the same hardware I used for Slackware 2.0 is an exercise playing Tetris with source code.
- einr 8y agoWindows NT 3.1, the first version, required 12 MB RAM.
- pjmlp 8y agoI wonder how it run on my humble P75 then.
- clhodapp 8y agoPerhaps you had 16 megabytes of memory? It's a bit tough going but my research seems to show that in-period, people commonly ran Pentium 75 systems with anywhere between 8 and 32 megs of RAM.
- pjmlp 8y agoI had 8 MB, got 32MB when I bought a P166 years later.
- einr 8y agoYou must have had at least 12 MB of RAM ;) The installer flat out refuses to continue if it detects less memory than that.
- pjmlp 8y agoI surely did not had more than 8 MB. Got 32 MB with the P166 that I bought a couple of years later. So even if I got it wrong on the 4MB recollection. That computer did not have those 12 MB.
