Windows 2000I was given a computer with Windows 2000, and other than an ethernet card problem, it seems to function fine. I don't have the complete specs for the computer, but I think its a P4 (1.8 maybe) 1 Gb ram, 80 Gb hard drive...something like that. I don't really need this computer, but since the operating system is old....what can it be used for? Even if I give it to a group in need, what can they use it for? I hate to put a new ethernet card in it if the computer is already obsolete. Comments?
Re: Windows 2000Not a bad system for just email, documents and surfing the web.
I have donated a few machines to an orphanage in Mexico, they use them in classrooms. I am sure you can find some good use for it, I have one similar to that in our guest room for when we get visitors. They can check their email and go on the internet, nothing fancy but it is a nice addition. 1. Thinkpad W530 Laptop, Core i7-3820QM Processor 8M Cache 3.70 GHz, 16 GB DDR3, NVIDIA Quadro K1000M 2GB Memory.
2. Cybertron PC - Liquid Cooled AMD FX6300, 6 cores, 3.50ghz - 32GB DDR3 - MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4G, 4GB Video Ram, 1024 Cuda Cores.
Re: Windows 2000Those are GREAT ideas....It would sure keep the relatives off my machines
Re: Windows 2000
I agree with this. Also would be an okay system for any app's that are not too CPU intense. I actually ran PE1 on a similiar hardware profile, but configed with XP SP2. It worked, but it wasn't pretty. Also, if your gonna pass on to a friend, or family, do yourself a favor, a straight vanilla ethernet card can be had for around $20 bucks. Put the card in, or the PC is usless for mail and the web... Intel i7Core Quad (i7-940) @ 2.93 Ghz, 12gig Mem 1066 MHz , 1gig Nvidia GeForce, 1TB HDD with Raid 0 (2x500), 3TB Storage
PE7, Vista-64, Sony DCR-DVD305 (MiniDVD) If everything seems under control, then your just not going fast enough ~ Mario Andretti.
Re: Windows 2000Thanks Kodebuster....Ya, I'd rather get it going on the 'net if I give it away. $20 is nothing if it helps someone out.
Re: Windows 2000.....or if you are wireless at home a wireless USB stub (for example the Netgear WG111TNA) is easier to fit than a card. (There are cheaper alternative brands, I quote that one solely as an example).
