Aaron Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I ran Windows 2k on my old 166 box with 256mb of RAM before and its slow as a snail. Don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likuidkewl Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Just remember anything before 98 doesn't support USB, so you have to use serial or paralell for everything. Just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
