Hello everyone, I�m fixing up an old computer I bought at a school for my sister�s family. They have an old Windows 3.1 Pentium with a 14.4 modem, that was a hand me down in the family. They�ve tried using that old machine for AOL and word processing for the last six months. AOL email is ok. However, my sister is now complaining that it is slow and not good with web sites. Imagine that :-)
The computer I�m readying for them started out as a Power Mac 5200. I put in a 5400/180 motherboard, 64 megs RAM, and a 2 gig hard drive. I�m going to load 8.6 and ClarisWorks 4. They use AOL, so I downloaded AOL 5 for Mac. Is that a good version to run on this machine? (I don�t use AOL.) If not, what version should I load? Also, I was thinking of IE 5 for a browser. Any suggestions there? Oh, modems. I have Global Village Gold (14.4) that they can use, but I was wondering if I could find a faster one on the cheap. Any other suggestions would be helpful too.
