What is the minimum requirements? I have an old Celeron 677 with 256 MB RAM, and a 10GB hard drive… but, dunno what you need. Wait, I dunno about the hard drive. I’m still working on checking all of mine for a good one 🙂 But, I know i have one that will work the only problem I can see is that the battery is DEAD as a doornail ---
