Hi Olla, Most scanners should work fine with a Pentium. Something you might want to check out is to see if your computer has a USB port connector. Most new scanners and other new equipment are being designed to use the USB port so you might keep that in mind. Otherwise, I would suggest you get a scanner that uses the parallel printer connector. My scanner has the printer connected to the scanner and then the scanner is connected to the computer all using the same parallel printer connector. You should be able to buy a good scanner for around $50 USA. Here is a good web site to compare different scanners: http://www.crev.com/reviews/index_scanners.asp -- Dan Evjen Singularity Solutions, Inc.
