My parents had a very modest upgrade, so their old computer needs to go.
Its certainly not the fastest (6-7yrs old), but it is manageable.
P4 2.8ghz
768mb memory
120gb HD
integrated everything else (gfx, sound, etc).
Yeah, its not so great, but its definitely speedy enough for regular usage (browsing the web).
The problem is, the technology is so old that it would probably be better for anyone to just buy a new computer, than have to deal with this. I don't know what to do with it. I really don't think that anyone would want it, And even if they do, I don't know where to drop it off.
I'm really tempted to simply take out the 120gb HD and put it in my main computer, for a long awaited backup HD (good general practice anyway). I do have a spare 20gb hard drive from way back, so I could put that in if this old system is still usable.
