It is a Toshiba Portege 3020 and the specs are: Pentium 300MHz with MMX CPU 10.4" Sharp Active TFT 800x600 LCD Display 10gb Hard Drive 96 MB high performance Synchronous DRAM MagicGraph 128XD video onboard 2MB 800x600 24bit color video support. Built-in 16bit Sound with integrated speakers and Headphone/Microphone jacks Built-In USB port It is one of the early ultra portables and it is currently running Win98. It will be used as a word processor only. Now, I looked at the minimum requirements listed by Microsoft and it seems to pass... barely. What are your thoughts on this and if anybody has any experience on running XP on an old system configuration and have some tips... feel free to supply me with some info. If XP were to be installed, it would be switched to "classic" mode and all of the fancy options disabled.
