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

77591 2002-09-08 04:53:00 had a 70mhz running win95 and it was slowwwww. i would say forget 98.

actualy something i've been looking into is a replacment for win95 for slow pc's.....anyone know of any?

seen a 133mhz with win98 and office200. i was surprised it ran, however we installed win95 and it ran a whole lot better.

I've found anything less than a Pentium 100 is best left with win95a.
