this may be maxed out but will look into it.

If it is 32bit system which most older ones are then 4GB is the max you can use as no more will be recognized by the system.

The issue you might have is the video card not being strong enough or supporting the correct version of openGL.

I run it on a similar laptop at 32bit and winXPsp3 so 3gb RAM is max for me. does fine.

I don't believe you'll have a problem - it may be slow due to only 2G of memory, but RH should work OK. I have an "OLD" Toshiba laptop with a 1.9G AMD processor and 4G of memory (the max allowed) other than being slower that my desktops it has no problems. It probably runs better because I don't have all the BS on it that is on the desktops... 2G of laptop memory is really pretty cheap to upgrade.
I keep the latest versions of RH on all my machines.

Go for it....

A family member gus gave me an older gateway laptop running vista. IIRC 2 gb memory and anther if I use the included thumb drive.
I plan on using it mostly for running RH cura and sli3r for the SD4 . will the newest version of RH work or do i need to download an older version ? If so which one.
