Rethinking the whole question, it occurs to me that we had a potload of PIII and PIVs running XP with just 256 MB at work (when I had a job). Of course I campaigned to up them to a gig but AIR, they did chug along at 256. I'm sure this will be satisfactory for the use it will be put to. Thanks for the comments.
I just installed WinBlows 7 beta on the Dull and of course there's no driver for my Buffalo USB wireless adapter, so the question in the thread above has become moot. I have it connected by ethernet cable now.
As usual, Bill's minions spent the majority of their time drawing kindergarden icons for this release and moving things around so nothing is found where you'd expect it to be. At least AVG Free installed and seems to be working.
Just got a call from the laptop owner (I gave it back to them this morning). Says it runs fine and no more sluggish than it was with W2K, so all is well.
