Try Freespire 2.0, just released. Most common apps pre load with install 
so email, wp, spreadsheet and presentation are all there. Pl;us plays 
all multimedia right out of the box, so to speak, and you can use the 
Click N Run o n line software repository to load and unload other apps. 
Have put it on a PIII 450 and an older Dell PIV without any problems or 
issues.  Picked up all cards with the exception of my DLink wireless but 
I've never had any version pick up this card. Very nice improvement from 
earlier versions, worth  a look.
