Well I put NT 4.0 on my 701 (DX4/75, 40MB RAM, 1.3 GB HDD) about 6 months ago and its been running just fine; in fact it ran fairly well with 24 MB RAM although there was a bit of disk thrashing which is why I went to 40MB. It doesn't have alot of the APM and while it will hibernate, coming out of hibernation is something of a bummer as the modems will not work until re-boot and the system clock has to be reset. The best point is that in the 6+ months running NT the box has *never* crashed; I have had to kill a task or two but I've never had to re-boot.
