Speaking of minimum requirements for Win98, this seems appropriate: http://www.winhistory.de/more/386/386vers.htm Win98 running on a 386? Perhaps someone here who can read German can take a look... It would be better than what I get from Web translators. I have an old Socket 7 system here with a K5 PR75 (around P90 equivalent), 16 MB EDO, 1 GB IDE HDD (could add or replace with larger, but its a cheap case which makes it more work so I haven't bothered. Maybe if I need more space later.) Matrox Millennium II PCI, SB16 Vibra PnP ISA, AON101T (RTL8019AS 10BaseT ISA, NE2000 compatible) which is currently running WinNT 3.51 (SP5). Its not screaming fast, but its good. Beats WFW 3.11 though (which it shares the Program Manager interface with) :-) I have MS Office 95 (NT 3.51 can run Office 97 also (which draws its own controls, so it has the Explorer style title bars and such) but I thought Office 95 might be a bit faster, plus I also wanted to try out this DOOM like egg in Excel 95), Illustrator 4, Photoshop 3.0 & 4.0, Winamp 2.80, IE 3.03 (yuck!) Opera 5.11, LeechFTP 1.3 all working nicely (although the last two don't work 100% due to some older common control libraries and such). Also a couple of games (SinkSub Pro v2.03 and Combat Tanks v1.0 (a Win16 classic!). The newer (both 16 and 32-bit) versions of mIRC sort of ran also, although I suspect an older 16-bit version might work better.

SH> Scott Holder Old versions of Windows can be run on new PCs, much more than compared to the oldest System / Mac OS versions that can run on newer Macs. :-) -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
