     Well, when you consider that NT requires 11MB just for the operating
system, that's an indication of memory requirements, and also, the CPU has to
juggle around all of the programs taking up that memory. NT's a monster. You
need it the Pentium Pros, well, either that or OS/2, because they don't run
16 Bit applications or virtual 32-bit os's like Win 95. NT is also good for
setting up networks where the person administering the thing doesn't know
alot about networking. It's pretty easy to use and provides options for those
who want or need to deal with that kind of complexity.
