I'm not sure it can even use a full gig of RAM. I run XP on mine, but
it's really from the age of win 98 as far as speed and other specs.

Yes but that's all you need for running nav software, checking EMAIL,
browing the web, etc.

Very true. The other advantage is that older, slower computers
generally use less power. I'm glad it has enough poop to run XP,
though. Its a lot more solid than 98 ever was.

I still miss the 3.11 virus. I got to where I could reformat and
install windoze and nutscrape in less than an hour.
