Win XP Home edition version 2002
SP3
224MB of RAM
Would this computer be worth salvaging? It would be my first time doing something like this with such an old computer, if I buy new shit for it, would it even work?
Processor?
Probably not.
You could do it for FUN
What kind of a Processor is it running?
I'd toss in more RAM and a Radeon 9800 Pro and use it for XP era vidya or something.
Overclock it until it cries or dies

This shit's slow as hell, took me forever to navigate to the system properties. It's got an AMD Atholon MP in it. Definitely gonna do a fresh install of XP before anything else.

Looks like its got an AGP port. Buy an old card for like 10$ and you got yourself a PC for old nostalgic games.

Make it a quake/unreal machine

Do people even still play those games? If so, that's probably what I'll end up doing.

Get 2GB Chinese DDR1 ram on ebay if you plan on browsing the modern web with it.

Hecking yes, unreal tournament original is the most popular unreal game, and quake three is the second most popular quake game. Plus they are two of the greatest fps games of all time

I'm browsing the modern web on it right now

My uncle uses ie with 512 megs
>>55271864
pretty much this
you could probably use it productively, not like it's super destitute with DDR and AGP support but if you're already posting here, I doubt it's any better in raw power than what you have now, it can be a fun little box for experimenting and playing around, having an extra piece of hardware around is good for that

in my experience CPU and RAM speed is more important for handling JS than lots of RAM, I've got 1.5 GB in the PPC Mac I'm posting from right now and my P4 gear from the same era with half of that blow it away on the web
You can use it as a web server.

Those are the worst mainboards ever
It probably won't even turn on anymore or will crash after a few minutes
You should make a arcade machine. Could be an amazing project that involves a little electronics, wood working, painting and maybe a little programming
