evilneko Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Old machine huh? Wow, that memory is REALLY old. XP can run on it, for sure, but it won't be a very fast machine. I'd say either linux or slap 98 on and use it to play old games. Mmm, Syndicate, System Shock, original DOOM... :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gishank Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 If you want to use it, I'd advise putting uBuntu on it. Though really that PC is far too outdated to prove useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 oh my hehe...pretty much the same specs as my boyfriend's computer when I met him...lol I thought it was godly, pwned my poor laptop :( Ubuntu would run reasonably decent on it. If you threw in an extra 512 stick of RAM in it, XP would run pretty well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 If you could find one for a decent price, anyway. He'd probably have to go to a used electronics store or ebay. Might get lucky, but might also end up paying 30-40 bucks for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paganwannbe Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 why would I go out and spend 50 bucks for a 512 when we have a bunch of old junkers in our house some where.(I guess that explains why my computer sucks don't it):thumbsup: I love junking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 :D I got a few junkers lying around too. I haven't thrown an old computer away since my 286... and I'm not even sure about that one. I think I might still have its motherboard lying around somewhere. Its case is in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
