so there is nothing to do to the laptop that you would recommend? I think that you guys are just skipping this thread... :(

It should run OK with Windows 95, or Linux + light window manager. Should be fine for general applications (word processing, internet, etc).

Some more RAM may speed things up a little, but you're not going to get much improvement out of it.
