Can I upgrade?
I have a 333mhz system with 96mb ram, 10gig HDD.

Can I upgrade to Windows2000 or Windows XP? If so, which would be suitable?

Is my system capable of running a DVDROM drive?

Thanks

unwiseowl,

I call 400Mhz the fence. You could go either way with 400Mhz, but less I would not recommend WinXP at all. Since you only have 96Mb of RAM, your best bet is Win98SE.

The only way you would be able to run a DVD Drive would be with a Hardware Decoder.

It might be time to think about upgrading you entire computer. (Depending on what you use your computer for.)

Take Care,

Richard
