    AGE-OLD notebook/laptop ._.

    Anyone know if any upgrade is possible? I know RAM is but anything else or should this piece of crap be thrown? 256 MHz processor, I mean, GOD DAMN!

    the processor could only be upgraded to, say, a 333mhz model, even if you could find one.
    Sling it.

    If that. Laptops are nowhere near as upgradeable as PCs, and even if they were, P2s only went as far as 500mhz anyway.

    Even if you could upgrade laptop motherboards, you would have to spend money on a motherboard, and all other components and you you still have an old looking laptop that copst you almost as much money as a new one. You can't though, but even if you could an old one like that would not be worth it.

    precisely. Upgrading old PCs is a false economy.

    Yeah but at least I'd have a case and screen. And upgrading PC's isn't false economy - Buying them at shops is, considering they sell them with like, at least a grand building fee secretly. Except Dell.





    But Dell sucks.

    No, upgrading [OLD PCs is a false economy. There's nothing wrong in upgrading a system that's a couple of years old, but when it's this old, there's no real reason to do it.

    Qualify the statement "dell sucks", their laptops are very well built, and their monitors are second to none.
