hi all, im just wondering how many people out there still make do with their old p3/p4 laptops...

i currently am still making use of my c600 and c400 for everyday use besides gaming and i gotta say they still perform better than ever. (basic school work and surfing the web; very basic tasks)

so i am wondering how many of us still use old machines....im just very amazed how i haven't really looked to upgrading my laptop anytime soon.

hope to hear from you guys!

late!

I have a super old Desktop thats was given to me for free. It is a Gateway and has a 900mhz processor, 64mb ram, and a 13gb hdd. I plan on adding some more ram and trying to install xp on it or maybe linux.

I still use my Celeron 700MHz Desktop computer an 850MHz Dell Latitude C600 laptop. Not on a daily basis however.

Sadly, I don't have a laptop.

Not too long ago I had to replace the drive in my friend's HP Omnibook 6000. That has a P3 in it. I was surprised how fast it really was. The only problem it has is that it constantly freezes (don't know why) and one of the memory slots doesn't work, so even though she has 384 MB of RAM, it only detects the 256 MB stick. She doesn't have much money, so she has to make due with that one. At least she has a new Dell desktop.
