Considering it has a pentium, and I have core 2 duos that won’t open some websites, you might run into some issues as well. Can’t fix that, the cpu just doesn’t physically have the instruction set. But other than that, have fun and don’t expect performance greater than a raspberry pi.

Thank you. I do have my expectations in check. That is the reason the machine is restricted to certain activities like reading and writing/journaling.
I was just curious if anyone is using it to browse the web, especially with a combination of lightweight OS and browser.

Based on the heritage foundation leak there’s a non zero number of people out there still using Windows XP. I don’t think anyone was trying to use 98 though.

Thank you for your insight. But I have made it clear that I will not be using Windows 98 for browsing the web, and instead use a Linux based OS.
