Minimum hardware requirements (Was: Old, but not "Classic"

< 3.0 can run with CGA. It does, or at least mine does. < 3.10 SUPPOSEDLY can use the 3.0 CGA drivers, but they don't always work; < 3.1 therefore needs EGA Error! my 3.1 kit (circa 1992) has both CGA and VGA3.0 drivers along with about 15 others. I've used it with Mono, Herc, CGA, VGA. < I don't know what the mimimum RAM requirements are, but my 486 NEC lapto < can only handle "safe mode". (It has a hardware problem that prevents < upgrading the memory) For 3.1 it wants 2.0mb but I've run it on a 50Z with 1mb! For a useable system 4-8mb is the minima based not on winders itself but the apps you plan to run. Netscape(v3.0) in less than 8mb tends to crash Intermittently but with 12mb is rock solid. It will not even start up unless you have 5mb! < NB: MINIMUM requirements are NOT to be confused with RECOMMENDED < configuration. Particularly when it gets to issues of "acceptable < performance". True, also some apps may have their own want list that exceeds the minima by a lot. Allison
