Hello everybody!
I have a friend with an old Pentium 1 desktop with windows 95 lying
around. I think that the processor is rated at 90 MHz and the system
has 16 MB of ram.
I was wondering if the computer is still powerful enough to be still
used to view .jpg images. The images do not have to be larger than
800x600 resolution.
I also have no idea about what graphics card the system has, but I
think that it definatley has 2 MB of onboard memory.
Otherwise I do not know anything else about the specs, and I would not
be able to provide additional information.
I was thinking of trying to get it to work with ACDSee 3.0. I tested
the program on my Windows XP machine, and it used about 10-12 MB of
ram when viewing .jpg's of these resolutions.
What are your thoughts on this? Can it be done?

Also I was wondering how many colors does Windows 98 support? Can it
go to 32-bit?

P.S. the computer was purchased around the year 1995, if this helps.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

I am almost always greeted with little surprises when I open models of
this vintage. See if you can find an open memory slot, OR, if it will
take a 32. Forthwith take your memory module (pref. in an
electrostatic bag) to the back of a large thrift store (Goodwill is
great for this) near the computer stuff & compare. See what you can
pick up. I once had tons vintage artifacts -I should have opened a
museum, anyway, it's fun to look! And learn (computer history at your
fingertips)!
