  Best hardware for MLCad?
 
I'm looking to do some upgrading here at home (gotta love that tax return), and am interested what I can add/change to improve my MLCad performance. Is it strictly processor driven or can a beefier video card help out? With 256mb of RAM, I think (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Ok here are the real minimum hardware requirements for MLCad (V1.7 Release 2): - Any computer running with Windows 95/98 or NT - Harddisk mainly depends on the operating system plus arround 100 MB (for dat files and swap-space) - Graphic card (...)
