laptop spec

i see on the net that the laptop has two slots, max ram 512

scary business pulling the back off thelaptop

would it be worth my while buying another stick of 256 ($60/$70) or track another pc

just want to be carefull on the outlay of $$$ while i setup, learn and play....will probably go for a new 12V jobbie long term

The real problem is when it crashes and I need to reinstall, finding all the patches and updates.

pretty good eh

now need to check if this will run ozi explorer

Why not just install Ozi and find out?

I think it will run fine.

No mention of hardware specs but if it will run on a Win95 machine then you will be fine.
