• PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended • 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features) • 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space* • Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor • CD-ROM or DVD drive • Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device I'm going to go with 'maybe' and 'probably not' :) That thing was probably between 1500 and 2k bucks not so long ago.

You had to boot from a floppy. (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b3/Kaypro.jpg) Luxury! My first (after Atari) had 1k of ram and you had to program it. Cardboard box. My second (1982) had 16k (upgraded to a fuggin whoppin 48k) and could load stuff by audio tape baby. Warm gravel. Before that we had punch cards. Uphill, both ways. Yes, I have a TARDIS. Hole in the road. Tell that to kids these days and they won't believe you. Title: Re: Would this thing even run?

The sad thing is that there is a bid on it. Title: Re: Would this thing even run? Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on January 19, 2007, 12:30:09 PM 16 MB of RAM :o I know, that's about what I was like: :o And then when he called me to come and see this great find, you double it. We were both like this: :o :o Title: Re: Would this thing even run? Post by: spacey on January 19, 2007, 12:35:22 PM My first computer had 64k system ram and no hard disk.

We had to fill a room with servers the size of refrigerators in order to have enough memory to program a simple dot-matrix printer driver. Even then, we had nothing to print because it would take another warehouse full of 19mm tape drives just to run a word processing program to type up a simple letter.
