Problem Title:
6.0:  Memory requirements for various parts.


Problem Description:
Here is the listing from the current Exit Criteria regarding memory
requirements for XACT 5.2/6.0:


Solution 1:

Extended Memory (RAM) and Swap Space:

The memory requirements listed below are for typical designs, and include
the loading of Windows and DOS.  Additional memory may be required for
certain "boundary-case" or "pathological" designs, as well as for
concurrent operation of other applications (ie. Word, Excel).

       -------+------------+--------------------------------
		      |    Required	  |
	Required |  Windows 3.1x |
	 Memory |   Swap Space	| Devices
       --------|---------|----------------------------------
	  16M	   |	  16M	   | XC2000 (All devices)
		       |		  | XC3x20x - XC3x90x (All variants)
    		 |		    | XC7000 (Small devices -TBD)
		 |		    | XC4002x - XC4006x (All variants)
		 |		    | XC5202 - XC5204
  		 |		    | XC7000 (Large devices - TBD)
       --------|---------|-----------------------------------
	    32M    |	  32M	   | XC3195x (All Variants)
		 |		    | XC4008x - XC4013x (All variants)
  		 |		    | XC5206 - XC5210 (All variants)
       --------|---------|----------------------------------
	  48M	   |	  48M	   | XC5215
       -------+---------+----------------------------------

  This differs from 5.1.1 release requirements in the following ways:
	- addition of swap space requirement
	- some large 7000 devices may now require 16M/16M
	- 4008 may now require 32M/32M
	- addition of 5200 devices

  The 4025 is EXCLUDED from the release.  It will continue to be
  distributed via the bulletin board to qualified customers only.
