How much?

How much should I ask for this laptop?

Compaq Armada E500
1GHz PIII (133MHz FSB, 256MB L2)
128MB PC133
30GB HDD
ATI Rage Mobility
15" 4:3 LCD
CD writer/DVD-ROM
Floppy
Dual boot XP Home and Win2K
Microsoft Office on both OSes

The whole thing works great, just a little slow in XP, which is why I loaded 2000 onto it. So how much do you think I should ask?

Yeah but it's still a good computer, I am using it right now, running AIM, Limewire, and Firefox with 6 tabs.

No, it really isn't. It actually runs surprisingly well considering the amount of RAM, I just have to keep the paging file and the virtual memory high.

Thanks for the replies.
