WinNT or Win9x? :unsure:
gotta freind's laptop I'm workin on,
and it's ancient.....
P1 266MHz (I think)
64 MB PC66 RAM
it obviously cant go past Win98
(well, it could take WinME, but I wouldn't do that to a friend) :lol:
if I remember right, WinNT needs a little less in the h/w specs....
Windows 98 Second Edition.
Or... If it's really 266 MHz then you could run Windows 2000 with some more RAM.
See min req for Win2000: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...qs/default.asp
98lite?
I'd go for 98 SE.
NT sucks big hairy balls IMO...
agree with 100% - put 98 on it, and then grab a copy of 98lite, and strip the crap from it. It will run much nicer :)
yeah.......you try finding PC66 w/o having to special order it :PQuote:
