Ok, I just got three antiques donated to me...

Post by DaMaN »

a gateway 2000 (moo) PII with a whoping 96MB of Ram and a AMD K6-300 with 64mb ram and the best of them all a Compaq Presario lappy Cyrix chip and 32MB of ram struggling to boot windows 95.


Now here's my question, what the heck to do with these modern marvels? :rolleyes: (FYI trash day is friday so I need some suggestions quick)

-one fan on my home theater amplifier
-one fan on my modem
-add a fan anywhere you think would be good/cool/nessicary

or:

Install Linux on them and turn them into Internet browsers. Problem is, you need monitors to go with them. A Pentium II can certainly open web pages if the Internet connection is decent.
