   Heres an update on my experience with BeOS5 PE on a toshiba laptop   
   490CDT...233Mhz PII ....the vesa driver from bebits got the monitor to support   
   color but there must be some problems with how BeOS handles memory allocation   
   to apps. NetPositve could    
   crash & reboot it as well as simply changing a background for a solitaire   
   game. Both newsreaders locked it up and caused a "kernel panic". I understood   
   that 64MB of ram was sufficent to run BeOS. I get the feeling that BeOS was   
   optimised for the PPC    
   archetecture and not Intel machines.
