>>It has System 7.1 on it already, but will System 7.5.3/.5 run good on it? 8MB RAM, 80MB hard drive<<
Simply, no. Maybe, 7.5.3. Howsomever, 7.5.5 on my IIci--standard extension set takes up 4 MB RAM, 7.5.3 on my PB 190, standard extension set takes up 5 MB RAM. 7.1.3 on my PB 145b, standard extension set except for Sticky Click, uses 1.4 MB. My PB 145b has max RAM--14 MB--and a 320 MB HD. It's still bog-slow. I've had it online and it's sort of OK for e-mail, but really slow (even with a Best Data 56K modem online at 50666) doing anything with a browser. NN 2.2 is about the best you can hope for. NN 3 has a horrible memory leak--needs about 24 MB assigned to it. NN 3.04 Gold is a little better, but with the 1 bit screen graphics on Web pages are pretty bad. RamDoubler definitely helps with everything if you only have 8 MB of RAM, but you really wonder if it's worth it when you double-click on a folder, and the wait-a-bit-watch appears as the folder opens.
