 | | RIS 2.0 or 1.5 (minimum requirements) —Dirk Schlei
|
| | | 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 (...)

| | | | | I'd suggest not worrying about your system being underpowered. If you've ever programmed before you'll probably want to drop the Lego GUI development environment ASAP and switch to something more powerfull. A first step is to try out NQC which your (...)
