As there are very few high end games that use 128megs of video ram, I would have to say that her computer is fine concerning video. She probably has some sort of onboard video (ie.Intel, SIS, VIA). At 2.4 Ghz celeron it is quite a fast computer. She also has 512 megs of ram. Simply put that system surely can do more than word processing. A 486 can do word processing. I use a PII 300 for a FTP server that runs 24/7 and has quite a high demand load. It only has 256m ram. The Tucows download site still only uses a PII 400 with 512 ram for it's site to download. That is a major download center. Peter.
