Not certain what you are running, but I ran OS/2 2.1 for a couple of years on
a 486/33 with 8 megs. It ran great, never crashed on me. I switched to WARP
3 ONLY because IBM gave me a free copy, and it has TCP/IP so works great with
the internet. WARP 3 ran great on 8 megs also. Still run it on the same
machine, but now have 20 megs ram, still runs great. I have WARP 3 BLUE, WARP
3 CONNECT and WIN95 installed on this machine. I never use WARP connect, and
am thinking of installing WARP 4 on that partition, but, most people seem to
think WARP 4 would be a bit of a pig on this vintage machine. They also said
that about WARP 3, but were wrong about that. My 486 with WARP 3 blue is
faster for many things than my P133 at work with WIN95 on it, and works a hell
of a lot better.
Anyway, I would not hesitate to put WARP 3 on a 486/33 with 8 megs. The
memory is a bit small for real PIG gui apps like Netscape, MR/2 ICE and the
like. Those monsters need as much ram, video and CPU as you can throw at
them. 128 megs might be enough, a CRAY super computer would be more to there
liking I suspect, but even then, they would stress the system I imagine.
