	Just my opinion of course, but I wouldn't put NT on my 560 with 40 MB of
RAM and a 2.1 GB HD, let alone on a 750 with 20 MB RAM (I used to own a 750C).

	Just WAY too much of a memory & general resource hog.  Running it on
anything less than a Pentium is sort of iffy, but more
importantly--anything less than 32 to 48 MB of RAM?  I don't think its a
great idea.

	I had NT 4.0 running on a Pentium Pro 200 MHz with 96 MB of RAM--that
seemed to work very well.

	But I wouldn't do anything more than Win 95 on a 750.
