It is actual RAM usage, BUT System 7.0 doesn't necessarily take up 2 meg, 
although it will probably take the better part of 1.5.  You have to remember 
that a file server and outline font engine are in there as well.  A disk cache
is also required with a default of 128k.  System 7.0 is noticeable slower than
previous versions.

The beta version I have of System 7.0b4 takes up most of 8 DSDD floppies.
