Before You Go to a Computer Store
Buying Programs
Processor
The Satellite 200 Series computer has a 100 MHz Intel Pentium
microprocessor. It will run programs requiring a 286, 386, 486 or
Pentium processor.
Memory
The Satellite 200 Series computer comes with 8 MB of EDO
DRAM. Unless you've added additional memory, use this number
when evaluating program requirements. Some programs may list
two memory numbers: an amount which is essential for running
the program and a recommended amount for better performance.
To check your system's RAM, follow these steps:
1 Click the My Computer icon with the secondary button,
then click Properties.
Windows 95 displays the System Properties folder.
2 Click the Performance tab.
Windows 95 displays your computer's performance status,
including the amount of memory installed in your computer.
Hard Disk
The Satellite Series hard disk drive has a capacity of 810 million
bytes, which is equivalent to 772 MB. Although these capacities
well exceed the 55 MB stated in the system requirements example,
it is the amount of available hard disk space that matters. Much of
your hard disk may be filled with programs and data.
To determine the available space on your hard disk, follow these
steps:
1 In the desktop, double-click the My Computer icon.
Windows 95 opens the My Computer window.
2 Click (don't double-click) on the C: icon.
Windows 95 displays the space remaining (Free Space) and
total capacity of the drive at the bottom of the My Computer
