Wow, this board is so fake I bet NEC would cry if they knew :D There is absolutely no information about anything, no POST information, nothing in AIDA, even BIOS is cryptic.

The best way is to try it your self. When I had an old laptop in ~2007 I was able to go to the Internet/YouTube with it while using Windows 2000 SP4. The laptop was an Toshiba made with Intel Pentium II 333MHz , 196MB of RAM and an integrated graphics chip. The system itself used around 80MB.
