EverQuest uses between 40mb and 90mb of RAM depending on what the game is doing. EQWindow runs quite well on my Pentium II 466, running Win2000 with 128mb RAM and a Voodoo3 2000 and lots of other programs. When EverQuest doesn’t have mouse focus, EQWindow forces it to give up most of it’s processing time by slowing down to 3-5fps.
