That Packard Bell is from the early '90s and I can't find any specs on it, on the web or from Packard bell. So I guess he is out of luck...

He should be able to find specs from Accessories, then select System Tools, then click on System Information if the PC is even bootable. One that old is going to have a hard time running Win XP Pro without serious upgrades in memory and harddrive space most likely.

I will contact him tonight, as he works long hours up in the Poconos, and get the specs from him. Honestly tho' for the price of upgrading he can get a low budget computer from Wal-Mart for around $480. I saw one the other day there and it included a monitor. He is on a very low budget, that is why I sent him my laptop. But bad luck came into play when lightning struck his home and fried it and his phone.

Buying a new one along with installing a UPS would be a better solution. I bought a good hefty UPS for around $70.00 at RefurbUPS.com. If his credit is good, Dell has good laptops with low monthly payments. My opinion only, but I never liked Packard Bell. Sounds like he may want to add lightning protection to house installation and get lightning insurance.
