We've used a 386SX-16 for software presentations. I don't recommend it for development. The minumum configuration for development should be 386DX-25 with 8Meg RAM and a 200Meg Hard drive. You'll need about 65 Meg just to install V6. Then add the database files and you'll go over 100 Meg quickly. You can run with 4 Meg RAM, but I don't think Report Writer works with less than 5 Meg. The more RAM you have the better. I am running on a 486-33 with 8Meg RAM and a 340Meg SCSI drive. I wish I had about 8 Meg more RAM. I had a 386-25 when I first started with a 386-25 math coprocessor. It worked fine. Good Luck! Jim...
