I am using the Celeron 633mhz now with WINDOWS 98 SE. It used to have 64mb
of RAM when I brought it but I soon upgraded with another 128mb for games,
etc. It is running fine and the only other upgrade I did was disabled the
onboard sound and put a Sound Blaster Vibra 128 in it (around $50)

Runs nicely and I can even use it programs like Paint Shop Pro 7 with large
images without to much lag....
