  Really too slow to run much more than Windows 98SE, which is what I'd
recommend. Very stable, runs decently, but try to up it to 32MB RAM total.

  Also, you may want to look into using only IE5.5 (somewhat faster than IE 6),
or Opera for the web browser.  Also, try not to install to many apps - eg Virus
scanners, etc.  I'd go with AVG Free or a light McAfee VScan 4.51 + ZoneAlarm
2.6 era for the protection.

  Also, 98Lite is a program to consider if you really want to trim it down some
more.

  Anything higher than 98SE is really too much for 32MB of ram and the slower
L70 processor, IMO.  For Win2k, I'd really have to recommend at least a 64MB
L110 at the very minimum.

  Anyways, that's really all that these machines were designed for, and the
limited RAM really hinders the use of much more.  CPU speeds aren't that great,
even if overclocked, so don't stick too much on them and they'll run just fine.

Hi all,

Long time no type,

I used to use my little 50CT primarily with my Garmin GPS V but the 
latest Mapsource u/g I bought just wouldn't fit on. I investigated the 
hhd u/g path and even got a suitably thin 2G drive but it was too noisy. ;-(


Today a mate has given me what was his Mums 70CT ;-)

It currently has the Toshiba 95B on there and  I wondered what the panel 
suggests would be the best (Windows) OS for this model please (I guess I 
can take the upper 16M out of the 50 and put it in the 16M 70?).


I actually like ME as it has the best hardware database of the series.

Can you get all the drivers for ME though please and are there any 
immediate disadvantages to using ME over 95/98?


All the best ..
