That was my thought when I heard that... it's like filling the tires on your car with cement...

Believe it or not, I've still got an old Pentium 233MHZ w/96MB RAM running Win98SE and NAV 2004. And, it runs fine. Well, as well as any Pentium 233 would run.

Well it's possible... just not a very good idea for the average user...
I have a pentium 233 with 128mb ram running winxp and it's usable but not something I'd setup for a normal user...

OK OK. It was what the customer wanted. Who would turn down a sale? Well, I would have if I knew then what I know now.

lol well if it's what the customer wanted... that's their problem
I wasn't saying it was any "bad call" or anything, I woulda just explained it wasn't a very good idea to put a large program like that on an older machine. I find making it look like I'm saving them money/hassle they'll come back to me for more stuff... I've even managed to convince some people to upgrade their system just so they can use NAV2005

Well I ended up putting NAV 2003 on it. Works great for lowered powered machines. I suggested NOT putting any more $ into a years old Compcrap.
