I am going to buy the RIS 2.0, but I am not quite sure if I should better buy the RIS 1.5. That is, because my notebook (366 Mhz PII, 64 MB RAM, but only 2.5 MB Video RAM) does not fully meet the minimum requirements as stated by LEGO (what is (...)

Sorry, I don't know if it will run on your system. I only installed it on one machine and hardly use it at all. Dave Baum (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
