You'll really need more RAM though, unless you
find a version of OpenVMS
older than V7.2. I've found that 112MB is the minimum for acceptable
performance when running DECwindows, or 96MB without DECwindows installed.
Aaargh! Is that really true? Then there is no chance of fitting it onto a
MicroVAX II!?
Nah, it's just that RISC boxes usually need more memory than CISC boxes.
