Although I agree with Nicholas in regards to upgrading to a pci based nVidia gfx card, I don't see anything wrong with your dev box, it'll just be slow on compile times. You may want to do actual developement on a fast linux/bsd box and use this box as a native test machine. =)

I'll be installing AROS-Max on an old Digital Venturis box over the weekend so that I can start with some real development/porting work.
Should I expect AROS to fly on the following specs?

PII @ 233 MHz
96Mb (3 x 32Mb) RAM
inbuilt S3 video
2Gb HDD @ 5.2K rpm

I know it's a sh!tbox, but that's all spare that I have right now.


You might want to get yourself a cheap PCI nvidia vga card to stick in there, as you'll soon get pissed off with VESA on the S3.

I have a similar spec machine that had a S3 Trio64 in it. I bought a Geforce2MX PCI for ?30 last week so i can use the hardware accelerated nvidia driver.
