- Hi,
-
- I got a friend with a 386-SX/33MHz and 2M of RAM, 80M HD.
- Is it possible to run Windows with this configuration?
- I understand it is going to be pretty slow, but she is just going to use
- simple word processing programs like Word. Do you think she will be
- able to run it?
-
- Yeah, this shouldn't be a problem. I have a 386-SX/16 with a 60M HD
- that I ran with 2 meg for a while. It WILL be slow, even for word
- processing, but not unbearably so. I'll tell ya, though, a couple extra
- meg would be a hell of a good idea...
