Re: filmscanners: Win2K system requirements

Ok - I was confused.  I was referring to 100 MHz DIMMs v. 133 MHz DIMMs.  I
take it Win2K works fine with 100 MHz DIMMs?

| If you have a 700 MHz Pentium III then you have a 700 MHz CPU. Maybe

| Thanks Eli.  That was precisely my question.  I have a 700MHz Pentium III

| | I would not run Win2K with a 100 MHz CPU if that is what Ironworks

| | As for bus speed, I am not aware of any minimum, but if there is a
