I advise you to stay at 7.6.1 until you can afford the $30 for a stick of 128MB RAM. Keep a close watch on www.OtherWorldComputing.com for MailListSpecial RAM prices, in case the cost goes lower.
Perhaps some folks will give you some 32MB sticks. Caitlin Dean wrote: > ...I have a 8500av/120 ... 48 MB RAM. The > OS is 7.6 but I have CDs for 8.6 & 9.1.
