Ok I need a to know if a PI With 64 MB Of ram could Run the Following:
MSN Messanger 7.0
AIM 5.9
FireFox 1.0.3
MP3's (windows Media Player)
And Would These Run ON Windows NT Server 4.0?

NT server is designed for a server enviroment, its not really supposed to be used for an every day workdesk. Saying that, it will be pretty slow with 64 mb of ram. and you will need to look up the software specifications to see if it will run on NT4.
You can run any win9x with that machine and those programs, and shouldnt have any problems with it. |

Why not look on eBay, and see if you can get a cheap MOBO and CPU combo? I've gotten some pretty good deals, on MOBOs with CPU. At least you might get a PII, or PIII, for about $20 to $30, with shipping. | |
