	I wouldn't be too sure of that! I have an old Presario K6 that is useless 
running Windows because the Compac drivers are unobtainable. Even though it 
was *designed* to run Windows '98. It gets stuck with default "safe mode" 
graphics resolution (640x480), the sound card doesn't work, and it can't find 
either the modem or ethernet card.
	This same computer is Fully Functional running Linux, and even runs 
surprisingly quick for it's age.
