It also runs in 512k, I know from experience on my very first PC (I traded
in my Apple II+ with Z-80 card, for a 286 with 512k of RAM... oh, if I had
known!).

Yes, I ended up going to a 386 motherboard though. It wasn't worth getting
more RAM.

Yes.

run.

No, Win 3.11 dropped the Standard Mode support first.
