My real VAXstation came with VMS 5.2 and IIRC had only 6 MB RAM.  With 
DECWindows loaded there was little room for any application software, so 
I ran it with VWS instead.  I did some work at a customer who used 
VAXstation 2000 systems booted as satellites off a larger VAX. These had 
8 or 10 MB RAM and DECwindows ran fine.
