Develop .net application for windows nt 4.0

I can't say that I have a lot of experience here, but I have developed a Windows Forms client that runs on NT 4 Service Pack 6A and it seemed to work reasonably well. So yes, it is possible, but given your system resources it might take forever to run, if it can run at all.
As an alternative, you might want to consider perhaps a VBScript or other shell scripting (even VB6!) if you can't get a winform app to work.
You might want to consider emulating a NT 4 system in VirtualPC or VMWare under similar memory limitations and see how it goes.
Good luck! :)
