Darn I just deleted the wrong message from "the noob" who is constructing recycled machines. I freecycled 15 made up out of bits and pieces all running Xubuntu or Puppy and they all went like a shot as people only wanted a wordprocessor, browser and email program and my linux sales pitch along with an unbeatable price meant they bit the hook. To the point: I have 3 Fujitsu P4 2.8-3.0ghz slimlines which are more than just useful but simply don't have ram for them - do you have any of the circa 1994 ram, think it succeeded sdram but can't remember what it is called, or was it that sdram succeeded the early noughties ddr ram, my memory is shot. [What is modern ram called??] There are only 2 slots so the sticks need to be 1gb to make them really useful with Ubuntu 10.4 LTS which these machines have enough cpu grunt to run easily if the programs have a bit of space to scuttle around in. I'd like to keep these to give to the kids to do things on in the new garage conversion dining/kids room, where I have setup up a long desk at one end of the room. They love playing networked games. About time we got something out of all my assembling of donated bits!
