I think that Win2K is your best choice.
Me too.
Why would you buy something with those specs, I hope that the price is REALLY low.
Well I want a computer for $30 Cdn. What kind of computer would I get for that price? I was thinking that for $30 I'd get something with specs like I described.

That's an okay price to pay for it.  As long as it works anyway :)
Evil is an exact science.

Yeah, I thought is was decent.

I've seen computers with 600 Mhz CPU, 256 MB RAM, 25 GB HDD and similar specs being sold on ebay for over $100 dollars. Some people were actually dumb enough to buy them!!! It seems to be common on there. What do you think?

I could build myself a much better newer computer for that price tag.

    In my stable i have a Compaq Presario 1810 ($25.00) with wifi and wireless router,etc using XP home with 64 MB ram (expandable to 96 max) . Molasses in January will run faster. But given at the time i only really wanted the WIFI ability it does a reasonably good job on that for most things (not video of course).truenorth
