Minimum RAM for BlueYonder?

Hi,
My sister applied for the BlueYonder service and was told she needed
more RAM in her computer. Currently she has 64MB. What's the minimum
she needs to have?

If she has a network card (or is savvy enough to install USB drivers
manually) she'll get on line fine.

It'll be just BY's installer CD, which I assume will test her system, which
will refuse to run.

Thanks, that's useful to know. It might be helpful generally to
upgrade from 64MB anyway though. Surfing the Web might benefit from
it.

Depends on the OS. Win98 will prolly be adequate on 64Mb. I wouldnt run
WinXP on less than 512....

Good advice. Though Dell recently supplied a laptop to one of my customers
running Windows XP with only 128MB. It wasn't pretty!
