Hello Gianluca.Simoni,

sorry, I just saw your post, even though time has past so quickly.

I have a running puppy 4.00 on the small brother Toshiba 300CT with 64mb, so that this is in fact a slower PC running at 133MHz, so if you're still looking for an answer please reply again or send me a PM. I'm not finished with tweaking yet, but it already runs fine. :!:

Happy tweaking, :wink: :!:
