    Found one of these for 10 dollars a few years back at a thrift store. Upgraded the ram to 4 gb and it seems to work fine. Even found the original monitors, keyboard and mouse that went with it. I eventually do plan to upgrade it with modern hardware and software as a secondary PC, but I've been enjoying revisiting Vista and some older programs on it.

    Would you recommend buying one now? I am planning to use it for reading, note making, browsing, maybe some light programming. I have a pc for doing major work, but I just need a laptop for doing some stuff when I'm at college.

    thanks for this video, i impusively bought one on ebay lol though, according to the listing (at least on the BIOS screen), mine will come with a nvidia geforce4 4200... which best i can tell also sucks big time, only going up to directx 8 lmao. not like that it matters, i really bought it for playing basic 2D games i remember from my childhood, and for the firewire port i wanna mess around with if i can find appropriate camcorders to use it with. oh, and the one i got also has a floppy drive instead of a DVD drive, which i find to be more useful... assuming i can manage to install XP to this machine in the first place without it being a nightmare lol

    First computer in 1997, cost $2000, it did not last very long. We had nothing but problems with it. Next computer was a VPR? We bought this instead of the Alienware. I believe this one was made by Porsche. Also, did not last very long. I had a lot of problems with computers lasting more than 2 years. Grrr

We can't seem to find one that is not too thick. Is there one expressly manufactured for this purpose? Thanks again.

I am having issues finding display adapters that would work with XP. Do you recommend downgrading to windows 98 or do you know possibly where i can find some drivers for this thing? lol thanks in advance!
