I have a question about the System Requirements for Windows that is
posted on the web site.
"Microsoft Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4 or higher), XP, Vista, or Windows 7
Pentium compatible PC (Pentium III or Athlon recommended)
256 MB RAM (512 MB RAM recommended)
1024x768 resolution (higher resolution recommended), at least 256 colors"
The older systems that run P-III tend to have video cards that do not go
above 800x600 if you want at least 256 colors. That is what I have seen
in most of the older computers I have used or repaired.
I am working on a P-III computer with 512 MB RAM and its video does not
go above 800x600.
So the question is, what will I loose with the smaller video
resolution? I have not added LO yet, since I am currently running the
WinXP updates [hundreds of them] before I load the needed software: LO,
Thunderbird, Firefox, Corel Draw [his], Inkscape, Security, and other
software that he wants/needs on his computer.
So what will he/I give up with 800x600 instead of the 1024x768 resolution?
This machine is to replace a real old P-II machine that he bought used
about 10 years ago. It would be nice to get LO on that machine, since
it is going to be given to a girl who needs to type notes.
