If it has 32 MB you should be OK... but OK or not OK turns on what you
feel minimum performance is. CPU and memory will both help rendering

(...) As I stated before, the computer is a 486 66MHz. It has 8MB of RAM. Barely enough to run Win95. As far as video and graphics cards, I don't have a clue anymore. I would like to think that I could use it for MLCad, otherwise it's probably (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
