I have a 1 Ghz P3 machine with 512 RAM. But ubuntu didn't work until I bumpted it up from 256 to 512. RAM for a machine like that is cheap. I got mine for free from someone who was throwing out an old computer. If you can get to a used computer store, you should be able to bump your machine up to 512 for ten bucks. Even if you get it working, it will be painfully slow. You could experiment with orca on a machine like that but it will be too slow to use for real. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brent Harding" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
