My mom got an old laptop and some misc accessories at a garage sale for $30
The specs of the laptop are:
Pentium 2 366Mhz
64megs ram
4.5Gig hard drive
The video didnt look like anything special, Ive never actually heard of the brand before. NeoMagic or something like that. Its a dell.
Right now it has the same windows 95 install its probably had since the beginning of time. It actually runs decently fast on there. Ideally Id like to put at least windows 2000 on there, but I dont want to slow it down to a crawl. I think I remember trying to run windows 2000 on a computer with 64megs of ram before, and the results werent pretty. Combine that with the slow laptop drive it will have to access for virtual memory and
Do you think it could handle windows 2000? If not, should I try to put 98 on it? NT4?
