  You can try using older machines with operating systems like Linux, or deactivating many of the flashy features of OSs like XP. I%26#039;m typing this answer on an old Toshiba Portege 7220CTe laptop with a 650MHz Pentium III processor. The OS is XP, but I%26#039;ve turned off a lot of the unnecessary background services, shut down the flashy graphics and installed the max memory (only 320MB though). While it%26#039;s not a fast laptop, it%26#039;s perfectly adequate for surfing the net and wordprocessing, and it%26#039;s built like a brick outhouse (it has a magnesium chassis which seems to be pretty much bombproof). 0% 0 Votes
