| 77590 | 2002-09-08 04:47:00 | Hi all, I am working on a 486DX2. The owner would like to have Windows 98 installed, but I would like to know how well it would run if at all. The system specs are 32MB RAM, 500MB Hard drive, 66MHz processor. How well would Windows 98 run on this machine does anyone know? Thanks all Cheers :) |
