I have run DecWindows from a microVax 4000-400 with ~350MB
of memory. I assumed that the burden would be too much
for the smaller Vax.
I ran DecWindows on a MicroVAX-II with probably 1 MB of
memory. That may have been a bit weak, I did upgrade the
system to 5 MB. It ran fine. First with a VCB-01
(monochrome) and then updated to a VCB-02 (8-bit color).

I can't run DecWindows on a MicroVax II with 11MB of
memory, so I loaded
the basic support files for DecWindows.
Are you sure?
I can run the old XUI DecWindows on VMS 5.5-2 (the newest
VMS that will support
XUI) in monochrome on a VaxStation 2000 with just 6MB.
It's not very fast
but it works. As far as I recall, it worked in colour
when it had a GPX card
installed.
