10-year old computer?  Good for parts for someone who might want them.

    Wow, it sounds like quite an old computer, just FYI it can't be used for much...

    Why do people say that all the time? It would work for word processing, E-mail, even older games. My K6-2 ran at the same speed and I got adequate performance  with Windows XP even.

    It's simply a matter of "computing within your means" ;D

      These could also be used as a server.  I used an old 800mHz Pentium III for my server and it runs really well.  Probably better than I actually need.

      Not enough info.  You will have to open them up and look inside so you can tell what's really in there.

      Download and install CPU-Z and run it on each individual machine.

      BTW, I used to get all my computers from the recycle center, but it is no longer allowed.
