[performance of os/2 with 8 megs is disappointing compared to dos/windows]

if anyone ever told you os/2 would be a runner compared to dos/windows and  
maybe additionaly that dos/windows apps run faster than under plain dos/ 
windows he/she simply lied to you, period.

(there are some actions that perform better/quicker under os/2 than under  
dos/windows, but generally those action do not outweight the performance  
penalty that os/2's emulations and the wps have on the general  
performance.)

if your are working with apps like winword, etc. and want to stick with
os/2 you should definitely buy 16 megs.

if you are a programmer, consider jumping to 32 megs, especially as a 32  
meg configuration with two 16 meg ps/2 simms is relative cheap compared to  
a 32 meg configuration with four 8 meg ps/2 simms...(gently presuming you  
have a ps/2 simms motherboard...)

bye bye
