...It is a 75 Mhz. Pentium (TM) 32 MB Ram, 759 MB memory, 93,978,624 free. It is running in MS-DOS compatibility mode. It also has a cd rom. I do not have a Windows disc. I bid on ebay for a windows 95 and so far I am high bid @ .97 cents. But I put in to bid as high as $10.00. I am not sure if that is the right decision now... .
Sounds like Windows 98 SE is your best option. Don't worry if you have already purchased Windows 95. You can still purchase the Windows 98 SE
upgrade CD (which will be less than the Windows 98 SE full installation CD). Then, all you need to do is format the hard drive with a boot disk, install Windows 95, and then install Windows 98 SE. I would not recommend Windows ME or 2000 or XP with your system.
If you have a computer repair store in your area, try calling to see if they have RAM that will work with your computer. There are different types of RAM, so you will have to get the correct type. You will also have to purchase them in pairs (you probably have room for two pairs, that is there are probably four banks). I'm not sure what RAM you have, but you may be able to get SIMMs up to 64 MB each (or a maximum of 128 MB, which might work best for playing games or working with higher-end graphics). The memory you have should work just fine for DOS games and word processing. If you need some 64 MB SIMMs, i have four i may mail to you. Just drop me an email with your address.
When you indicate 759, i'm assuming that is the size of the hard drive. A computer repair shop may sell you one at least four times as large (around 4 GB) for a nominal cost. I have a half a dozen 4 GB hard drives in my workshop if you want me to mail one to you (and you don't mind paying the shipping cost). However, it may be cheaper just to purchase one used in your area. For that matter, you may be able to get a used Pentium II or III system with a 10 GB hard drive for under $100.00. Many repair shops have them available because businesses are upgrading to Windows XP, which is not compatible with some older hardware. So, shop around!
PS I really like your sign on name. I clown for Jesus I really injoy it. I can do it much better than I can compute. Thanks Contiel
Cool! My wife can do wonders with balloons. She's a hit at kids' parties with all the inflated animals, hats and swords she makes. She's thinking of clown school. Any good clown Web sites you'd recommend?
Blessings to you!
