How much RAM minimum?
I am using a second-hand laptop "Toshiba Satellite 300CDT" . I successfully installed SuSE Linux
7.0 on it (not really a recent distrib, but more recent than the hardware ...). KDE works o.k., but slowly (the CPU runs 166MHz and I only have 48Mb of RAM). I did not try to install StarOffice because according to the documentation, 64Mb RAM is a minimum. Is that true? Does anybody know - where I can find additional memory chips to reach at least 64MB - how I can recognize used memory chips as compatible with that old Toshiba laptop ? One more question: This laptop does even not support 16bit sound drivers (the sound chip is 8bit only). An USB 1 connector is there. Can buying a USB-connected soundcard be the solution? :confused: |
hi,
with 48Mb RAM, forget StarOffice (and btw, take a look at OpenOffice, not SO), you really shouldnt be lookin at running KDE either. i cant answer about your later queries ... sorry. |
Most of the memory selling websites will have a way for you to determine what type of memory you need... Either a series of choices, or an e-mail eddress to contact. Find "Toshiba Satellite 300CDT" in there configurator, and it will tell you what type you need, and how much it can take.
