What operating systems can you run on an Intel Pentium III?

The type of operating system to use depends also on the amount of memory in the computer. These older computers usually feature 64-256 megabytes maximum. 64 mb + i would recommend using a light version of Linux (Google it, there will be a few light Linux versions, download the CD image, and write it to a CD, then Boot off of that CD on the older computer) 256 megabytes+ it is possible to use windows Me or windows 2000. Windows XP can work, but it is not worth buying XP. If you have a CD with XP on it, go ahead and try that. Linux is a good choice.

Is 3 gb great memory for a laptop?

It depends upon the type of operating system and if the laptop can support the amount of memory. Most versions of Windows are 32BIT. This simply means they can "see" a maximum of 4GB of memory. 64BIT versions of Windows can see past that 4GB limitation. Most computers will only see 3.5GB out of 4 (even if 4 is installed) SO, 3GB is very close to the maximum amount that most computers can see. It is also very close to what most versions of Windows will see. Therefore, 3GB is probably GREAT for a laptop.
