[QUOTE="Jones, post: 542212, member: 4805"] Never say die, Scratch! I always try to squeeze every viable upgrade out of a comp before I take it out back and put two in it's head :happy-very:. I just breathed another life cycle into an old Sony Vaio, it had a 1.6 Pentium 4 processor which I replaced with a 2.2 that I found on Ebay. The Sony bios doesn't really like it and runs it slightly under clocked, but it's still a huge improvement. I upped to 1gb of RAM from the original 256mb, ideally I would like to put 2gb in but it only has 2 RAM slots and 1gb sticks of pc133 are hideously expensive. I remember our old i386 that ran at 10 mhz. It had a "turbo" mode that bumped it up to 12.... [/QUOTE]
