I have several of these, and although they are slow (we are so spoiled these days), I love them! I don't know how upgradeable they are, because I feel a computer works best with the hardware and software it was designed to run. I usually use OS 7.6.1 on this machine. It will run QuickTime 4, which gives it Mp3 capabilities (I love old time radio Mp3s). It only takes 64 MB RAM, which again limits what kind of software (including operating system) it will run. It is great on running Office 6.0, Photoshop version 4, and the other tools of that era. It is a wonderful machine for folks who don't need access to the internet (or a second computer).
