Title: GATEWAY FLAT SPACE-SAVER COMPUTER

866 MHZ. 8 GIG HARD-DRIVE, 256 MEMORY, WINDOWS XP


Got a line on this item and was wondering if anyone has used it for emulation? seems like it would be perfect for it since it is so slim and compact.

You're thinking of using WinUAE on there? Looks to me like those specs are pretty low.

It's probably on an i810 or i815 motherboard with intel onboard graphics *shudder*, upgrading to a fast Tualatin core can be problematic, dependant on chipset revision. Also they do need a bit of ventilation so a tight case might not be ideal to upgrade past a 1Ghz chip. Strange format cases also give you headaches when you want something as simple as another NIC or graphics card. 256MB ram would be fine with a lightweight OS though. Default install of XP on 256MB only has about 64MB free RAM left for user programs after boot.
