Its running on a ThinkPad 390e, 64mb as standard, and tops out at 256mb, so there is your upper bound.

Even at an absolute worst case it still beats the pants off Slack.

You are correct. My 390E has 384MB of RAM but only 256MB is accessible by Win 3.1.

It's also lacking so many features as to be unusable.
