Good idea.

Though I am a firm believer keeping older h/w going.

I do not bother working on anything less than a 2ghz cpu with less
than 2 gigs of RAM

This unit was fine running XP , but it has died now . If I could figure out
what was causing the BS , I might try to repair it ... but I'm not even
going totry . Cost me 50 bucks at a yard sale 8 or 9 years ago , was so
eaten up with virus that they couldn't do anything with it . I wiped it and
installed a new OS and used it until the wife decided it was hers ... now
she's got the dual core tosh I replaced it with .
