- Yes, with a 486 and 8 Mb RAM... OS/2 is definitly worth trying. Windows
- 3.1 may be faster at some things, but when you are running more than app
- at once.. OS/2 should perform more reliably and faster. OS/2 does
- support 1024x768x256 and you can run your windows software on the OS/2
- desktop. About HPFS... it makes no difference for DOS/Win stuff, they
- dont really know the difference.
