    Presario 1200 Notebook

    Hi All,

    I am about to receive a Presario 1200 Laptop with Windows 98 installed. It does have a parallel port, USB 1.1, CD Drive - reader only, a serial port and a wireless router installed into a PCMCIA port. All software is included.

    Installed memory is 2 gigabytes. The hard drive is adequate for Mach 3 and most other things needed. I think it's about 5 gigabytes.

    The big question is: Has anyone used this Laptop with their CNC Machine? If so, how did it handle?

    My system will be 3-axis using the new little Geckos.

    Thanks for any help,

    Al

    Thanks Ger,

    I do have XP Professional. I will install it when I receive the computer.
