"My GF had one... PIII with 128 mb of ram takes about 4 to 5 minutes just to restart it. About 30 seconds just to open explorer..."
She probably had a bunch of shit running in the background sucking the Ram.
The idea is to get them online for 4-6 months and then they want to upgrade
and they call me for the trade out on the upgrade !
I have one that my kid uses just for surfing and it runs just fine. I keep
it clean and run spy bot, adaware, reg run and a few other anti hijacker
programs. I set it up so nothing can install or change the reg files unless
I let it via reg run.
The only time it bogs down is when viewing videos. You have to walk away
if you want to watch a movie trailer or something but to the noob it'll
work.
I remember surfing new groops 10 years ago for porn and a single pic took 5 minutes to load
