I want to run litestep on my old old computer(windows 98se, 500mhz and 64mb ram).

I have looked all around the site but cant find a system requirements page. Tried to search the forum, But it wouldn't let me.

LS itself should run on pretty much any hardware/Windows version. I don't know if the core has become more demanding over the years, but back when I first tried LS some nine years ago I had a Pentium 100MHz with 16 (or maybe 24) megs of RAM and some truly sh!tty S3 gfx card, and IIRC that worked fine. 500MHz and 64MB RAM shouldn't be a problem, as long as you use some lighter theme (I guess you don't want LS eating like 30MB of your precious RAM).

What you need to be aware of is that newer themes may be incompatible with Win 9x, due to heavy usage of alphatransparent effects (and the fact that themers really don't make their themes compatible with 9x anymore). In fact, I don't even know if the xModules will run at all on 9x. But the default theme [Austerity] should work, and from there you could start looking for some older, 9x-compatible themes, when you know how/if LS runs.

Your help is very much appreciated.

If you want a really light LiteStep use PureLS: http://www.purels.org/

PureLS features were added into LS by jugg when he joined the LSDev team.

Uhh, no they're not. PureLS has loads of features to speed it up. Like only expanding evars in step.rc and not in included files. LiteStep doesn't have that...

And what is the system impact of those two items? .0000000002%?
