If you need VM with THINK C, you're gonna be sorry if you switch to MPW.
5 meg is adequate for MPW C + SADE, 8M is comfortable.  (Add C++, gcc,
or MacApp, and make 8M adequate, but not comfortable.)

If you're getting a sizeable chunk of this memory out of VM, performance
is really going to suffer.  And MPW isn't what I would call fast to
begin with.  (Don't get me wrong; I use it, and it's ok--it's just a 
resource pig.)

(And it IS a chunk of change, too...)
