hey there...

i picked up an old 286 pc the other day and it's running dos v5.0. so on the recomendation of a friend i thought i would update it to w3.1 cos i wish to use it for word processing etc. However, it wouldn't install this as it did not have enough extended memory....

Have i picked up a computer that will be of no use to me or can i install some software that will let me word process which is fundamentally what i got it for...

please help...
