i bought a laptop yesterday (486 DX2, 4 mb ram, modem, 350 mb hard drive) LOADED with software
windows 3.11 workgroup
vb3
wordperfect
ms word
powerpoint
pcanywhere
anti virus software
on and on
guess for how much
$7 CAD (thats like 4 USD) sweet huh? :)
ok now to my question
anyone know if it will support win95?
someone said something about some mathematical thing that windows 95 needs for it to run, anyone know anything about this?
If you add a bit more ram it should.
ya but where do i find ram for it? :)
its like 6 years old
crucial?
uh what?
LOL :D
I actually found that funny.
You were describing this really cheap laptop and seemed so excited that it cost so little, then you pop the question of whether it supports Windows 95. :D
The fact that it might not support windows 95 shows how slow that thing is..and why it cost so little..
I don't know if anybody else found it funny, but I did..
but a working laptop? dont care if its OLD
works
and its PERFECT for typing essays n stuff :)
stuff like this sell for like 100$ on ebay
going to give it to my bro, force him to learn programming with it
HE HEHE
It will prolly hold an earlier verison of slackware. Allways good for a laugh.
td.
Go DOS/Linux without a Window Manager! :D
It will run fine. not that well thou :)
he meant the crucial memory company....you said it goes for about $100 on ebay, thats why no one I know has ever used ebay :rolleyes: but why spend money upgrading it? sell it on ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you just said so yourself that it would go for around 100, you got it for 7, $93 profit...keep doing this...$$$ :rolleyes: :cool:
This is the type of question we want here
chenko"It will run fine. not that well thou "
So it'll run fine but not well!
Thats alright coz the weather is Fine and Rainy!
:p
I ran Windows 95 on a 486 with 4 megs of ram for a year and a half. No problems at all.
The damn thing booted faster than my 166, too.
