[TruckerScreamed]

Pentium 75 mhz was enough for the BeOS demo. It was almost like using QNX. I believe I tried BeOS on some 486'es too, but if I did not at least it screamed, and burned, as you said, even on a Pentium 75mhz. The only limitation of the 'demo' was that usable space was like locked into 512MB extendable user-space, if I'm not wrong. Please do correct me/this.

BeOS never (officially) supported 486 class processors, I can't recall if it actually uses Pentium instructions and won't run, or if it's just super slow on 486. I think it is actually compiled for Pentium.
