Not necessarily, I have a 266mh desktop with 256 ram that runs awesome. Does everything I need it to do quickly and well. As for a laptop though, a laptop that's a 166 is going to be heavy and bulky. I'd save my money and look around a bit more for something similiar to what Marc just sold. Try www.pricewatch.com you may get lucky on a sale there.

At the minimum you should get a 400 MHz machine with DVD, anything
older is just plain obsolete.

Here's one for the computer gurus on the list. Found a DELL Latitude
LM,
possibly from '97, Win ME, 33.6 FAX modem, 10x CDrom, 3253mb HD,
Pentium CPU
166mhz, 16mb RAM (144mb max.). The seller is asking $375, I'm sure
that can
be talked down. Question to the knowledgable, is this worth buying and
upgrading? Can the CPU and hard drive on laptops be easily upgraded?
How
about a DVD? RAM chips, modems and CDroms can be swapped without any
trouble.
Will remove the WinME for Win98 that came with my PC. I'm not looking
for a
supercomputer, just something I can use while TDY or traveling, but on
the
cheap.
Please send all replies, opinions, suggestions and laughter
off-list.
TIA,
Carl
