Hi,
I put a nic card in my old P200 compaq tonight, with 64 megs of ram in it,
and connected it to comcast broadband via my router with a cat5 cable.
Then I set up an internet account and a mail account using outlook express.
Then I updated win98 at Microsoft's website.
Here's the funny thing I can't figure out. I went to Comcast's web site,
and searched to look up what the minimum hardware configuarion was, and
they said the minimum hardware to connect to their boradband system is a 300
Mhz CPU and 128 Megs of ram. I'm surfing the net perfectly fine
with the P 200 and with 64 MB of ram. How can this be?
