I work for a corperation that sells a lot of 386 systems running SCO Xenix
and the majority of our systems are sold with 2 MB and that suits all the
applications we run just fine, in extreme cases we sell 10 MB, but I have
yet to encounter a problem with 2, for the average person, 2 MB will
more than suit your needs. Unless of course you happen to be doing a lot
of work with UNIFY which is a Database for Xenix, it likes to keep a lot
of things in ram, and for that I recomend 8 MB or more running on the 32 bit
slots or on the board, I once saw a system run that with the ram in
the 16 bits slots, was not a pretty sight.....
