If I shut down all my optional services (apache, rc5des) and everything else,
the base system takes up somewhere around 75M, according to Task Manager.
Kernel memory alone is about half that. So it looks like 96M is a minimal
system for this version of NT. Disclaimers: I'm not running the official
beta 3, but I'm only about 15 builds behind. I'm also running some under-
development dlls and drivers that will push the total up a bit. But, as
you say, we're way off topic here.
