OMG 7.1 uses 10MB of RAM!!!

And now you know why System 7 sucks on a 68000 based machine. Even a stripped configuration eats up all the RAM. Even taking Dana's 7mb cache setup into consideration, System 7 is still a pig on early Macs.

I know if 32 bit addressing is off and you have more than 8 MB of RAM it will appear to eat all of the extra RAM.
