hope thats enough info lol. i just want to know if i got a computer that will last me a while. i dont game.
 
Yes, a 1.7 Pentium M with 1gb of RAM would be fine, but are you sure that it's HD is that small? Or is it an 80gb HD, partitioned 3 times? I dont understand your "copy & paste".
 
I was just wondering how this computer should last me. Do you think ill have any slowing down problems, memory problems, or any other problems from the setup i have? I also have a dell dimension v400c with an intel celeron,128mb of ram, 4 gig hard drive, and i run xp home on it. this computer is my old one, i bought it in 99.
