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 headed for a recycle heap. I could use the space it takes up for more
Lego storage.

| 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 performance, I suspect, as will the speed of the graphics card. note that I am guessing here. (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
