Was trying to figure out how much are the system requirements for os2-warp are? (RAM, HD space, CPU, video, CD ROM, etc)

version 3 -386 no cd-but can be installed from cdrom with correct drivers, about 40megs of HD space-more is better,8 megs of ram-the more the better, 256k videocard-better with a graphics accelerator. version 4 386-486 or better is ideal, at least 16 megs of ram-once again the more the better, 2 speed IDE cd-rom is good, allow for about 60megs of HD space-more the better, video same as for ver 3. can be installed from disks made off the CD like ver 3. Hope tis helps.

Thx for the info

Eric, I GENERALLY agree with previous response but I KNOW that HDD requirements given are LOW. Try 80MB *min.* for ver.3; 120MB *min.* for ver.4. Also, Ver. 4 ("Merlin") comes ONLY on RO-COD; so you HAVE to have ONE of them SOMEwhere! IF you expect to run anything WITH the Op.Sys. (under ITS control) then you NEED (require!) even more HDD "real estate". For Example: One of the "features" built into "Merlin" - WHY it IS called that - is voice control (navigation) *and* voice input (you talk, it types) though this require that you *TRAIN* it! This feature REQUIREs: Sound Card, special (sound "canceling") microphone, 100MB HDD JUST for it, more RAM (say 32MB), and an Intel Pentium 100-120MHz (min.!) (or equivalent Cyrix, IDT OR - my choice - AMD K6) to work - at all. Networking - included in Warp 4 (only ONE edition, hence ALL boxes) and - ONLY - the Warp 3 *CONNECT* editions (therefore not ALL editions, whether RED or BLUE, of 3!) requires a network card (of course), more RAM then Mark P states - but not MUCH more - and more HDD space (again). How about: a 486DX4@133MHz, 16MB RAM, 3 x 200MB HDDs, 4x Toshiba SCSI RO-COD attached to a MediaVision audio card, and a Genoa Systems VESA LB (w/ Cirrus Logic GD 5428 accel. chip) (or ATI Mach32 or Mach64 VESA LB) w/ 2MB V-RAM??? That's what I'm running Warp Connect UPON. How about: AMD K6-2@300MHz, 64MB RAM, 2.1GB SCSI HDD, ATI 8MB AGP buss Video, 40x Toshiba SCSI RO-COD (all SCSI on an Adaptec 2940 PCI buss card) and another mediavision audio card. These BOTH have 3Com EtherLink III ISA NI cards. Both CARDS work BUT I have a conflict w/ the Mach64 VLB video card in the ver. 3 system SO THAT I'll *NEVER* be able to get them to "talk" WITH that video card within it! Got some BETTER idea of what warp can USE? ALso, there ARE lots of third party Sw *BUT* most of it is NOT made by the "big 4" ANYmore! Sincerely, Tom

Thomas all that SHOUTING is HURTING my EARS. What I listed was the MINIMUM, I've done it by leaving OUT features, which is ok to get an IDEA of what each will LOOK like :). Your APPEARENT expertise is second to none. Having a supported graphics accalerator card helps heaps. Thanks for adding Warp Connect. Have never had the opportunity to use it, will keep looking for a legit copy though(I like to have the original manuals and such). Got OS/2 Ver 2(IBM Works on disk as well) a couple of weeks ago and that runs real sweet on a 486DX2/66. The manuals make interesting reading. Eric I'm glad to be of some help. By the way there are some very good OS/2 sites out there and users are very PASSIONATE about their favourate OS. Happy Warping
