K6, P II or 300Mhz 64mb 6 GIG drive I can live
Celeron 300a or min. min. with 15 inch but
or 333 better 17 inch or bigger
is worth getting.
are all
good for
chess
P.S. don't buy a computer at a store like Best Buy, Computer City etc.
If you don't want to mail order a computer from Dell, Micron, Etc. Find a small
computer store that will put a computer together with the parts you want and to
your specs.
