Mine also has 4.5Mb, but that is a side effect of having acquired it for
qualification testing on the computers we make here.  I am having trouble
imagining how anyone could use more than 2.5Mb (on the uVAX, anyway).

The maximum downloaded font count is 32, and the typical font is about
16Kbytes.  A full legal-size page of 300dpi graphics is less than 1.5Mbytes.
So unless you are also downloading herds of macros (like the entire set of
FY87 IRS tax forms), only 2Mbytes has been accounted for.

On the PC, I suppose the extra RAM makes a great printer spooler.
