Sometimes even free is not worth the problems you have to overcome or deal with. Laptops have advanced in so many ways over the last few years, and keeping an old piece of junk no matter how nice it looks just isn't worth the headaches you may have to put up with. You can find a nice notebook for a few hundred $$$ that is much more useable with more modern technology and avoid any unpleasantries. Restoring a laptop is nothing like restoring say an old automobile, which will give you a more valuable vehicle once the work is done. Even if you invest some money into it, and get it working faster it will still only become a more costly piece of junk. The laptop I am working on now is a new Toshiba with an Intel I-3 with all the bells and whistles and it ony cost me like $560. I wouldn't waste your time or money on that one BG. Just my 2cents. Our 15 year old son is going through the same sort of learning right now with some old computers that we received from a friend of mine. Once you start using one of the more recent CPUs and such and then try going back to something older it is just too frustrating and inconvenient to bother with. Anyway good luck with that BG.

true, but there's nothing like taking a chitbox $50 pc from CL and seeing how fast you can make it go
