Hope the following answers assist you.

1)  Micron 486DX2-66

2)  Positive rating from previous owners and PC magazines.

3)  I've had the computer for a little over a year and I don't regret
purchasing this brand at all.

4) I have added/upgraded the following:
    a.  8MB RAM for 16MB Total
    b.  28.8 modem
    c.  Logitech color hand scanner
    d.  Diamond Stealth Video Card w/ 2MB DRAM
    e.  Yamaha YST-M10 powered speakers
    f.  Windows 95

    Total approx cost for above: $820.00.  I found all the upgrades
extremely easy to do.

Again, hope it helps,

Jose
