Got a bunch of ancient laptops of FleaBay for a pretty good price, and processor speed wise they aren't bad, but I gotta take the shittiest one of the bunch apart and apply new thermal paste, and discovered one doesn't even have ram and two of them need a special power supply, so I have a 1gb stick of "compatible" ram coming, and have Vista installed on the one I could use right out of the box because XP is fucking garbage apparently and won't connect to my modern wifi.


My plan is to see if this 1gb stick works, which it should, and if it does order enough to max all 3 out and maybe sell the shitty one and keep the better two.
