Hi you guys! I just found my old Laptop to be still in working condition.
Pentium MMX, 166.0 MHz
80 MB RAM
800x600, 65536 Colors
TFT LCD
Any ideas on what to do with it? Right now it's running a pretty messed up version of my early LFS experiments...
Try to bribe archer with it for not closing this threadIB4L

I wouldn't worry about the troll, but I would worry about the kind of suggestions you're going to get for what to do with your laptop
Personally, I wouldn't even put that on eBay. It may be demoralising!
Network file server? (not media server).
Install the most lightweight Linux distro.
Keep it.

You may install tiny linux distro. Or any minimal version of other linux distros.
It would be fine to play with command line stuffs!

Yeah sure I got a lightweight distro on it. but it's still too weak to do anything lol. Selling is won't get me anything I guess either but I dont want to throw it away. and the only thing it can do is edit text and play music, both of which i dont need... hmm i dunno maybe im gonna take it apart for fun.
See if it blends........
Check if Crysis 2 runs on it. Lol

I don't think anything is usable in a 15 year old laptop. I would just destroy the hard drive and throw it out. Not a very green answer but that's all I can come up with at the moment.
Mod it. I've always wanted to take the shell of an old laptop and put my own hw in it. But have it look stock.

Hello, I know this is kind of a dumb question but I had just recently bought this computer off eBay for around $290.00 USD. Everything should be in the picture? If not let me know if there is anything else I can provide you so I can get just a general idea. Thank You SO MUCH!
its nothing special.

Assuming thats a laptop based off of the T series chip, what brand and model is it... also, what size HDD and what graphics card does it have (onboard or dedicated, model, and memory size)?

for $290 thats not bad at all, seeing as when they came out they retailed for around $1200. you could potentially upgrade the memory to 4gb and then youd have quite a descent machine on your hands for the price you paid.
its a good machine, my rating is around 4, so your around there. Unless you below 2, its all good

How do I know how many slots I have available for RAM, and what RAM I exactly need? I am kinda new to computers but I know there are different types, like there is not just 1 type of 2gb DDR2 RAM..
What you have there is a business laptop. It has an Intel integrated GM965 chipset with integrated video (it sucks but does the job. Don't expect to play Blops at full visuals). Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400 or DDR2 PC2-5300, max 2Gb/slot. It has 2 slots for a maximum of 4Gb
The 6910b is a stalwart laptop, able to take a good bit of abuse. Just don't expect it to be a high-end (or even mid-range) graphics lappy
Yours truly,
[HP engineer]

That sucks man, if you have another box download and burn a Hirens boot CD. It has some recovery/wipe/(antivirus software if I remember correct).
You could also use a ubuntu live CD and recover your stuff and wipe.

full system virus scan takes way to long to my knowledge its a virus with spyware malware and phisching all in one man this virus rox who wants it any takers go to scanner.com lol dont do it this sux
Don't some hide on your computer until a certian date? Looks like you got an xmas one
Unlucky though
I always tell my customers to be careful which porn sites they visit.
I'd suggest using an ubuntu bootable CD for now... It's a good enough OS to use till you get up and running, though from CD it's a little slow, naturally, until it's all loaded into RAM.
For viruses, you should be able to remove them all using an offline scanner (ie. one that runs from another OS, like ClamWin, or a bootable rescue disc).
Most AV providers give a free rescue disc to boot to that will run their package and remove the viruses, even though you're not a customer. They hope that you'll then buy the app to protect your PC without the hassle of rebooting into a bootable CD and updating it to use it.
See http://www.askvg.com/download-free-...sky-bitdefender-avira-f-secure-and-others/for a list of them.
I'd suggest trying Kaspersky first, then something like ESET...
Burn the ISO to a CD, then you can boot it and try to clean up the PC.

The beetle in the URL refers to the German car variety, and it's currently eating 445MB of memory using IE8 on the work PC!
Pretty decent showcase for modern web standards, although you wouldn't have 250 browser tabs open at the same time loaded with pages like this!
325MB - Chrome - Ubuntu
Still the ugliest car ever
Ubuntu 11.10 here with Chrome. It did handle it, but i think i heard some screaming from the CPU. It did not enjoy that, and i think it would be better to test this in W7 and not in an OS that hates flash
Ok, enough with the excuses.

It's super addictive.
It's just basically making stuff and downloading other peoples levels they made that you have to do and like the other answer you got it is rather addictive!
Well, you're also missing stuff like crafting and survival. Depends on what difficulty you choose. Try for yourself.
I was wondering the same thing, because a bunch of guys I know love it. I tried it myself and I was bored within about 10 minutes. It's either you build something which isn't very impressive, or you sacrifice endless hours to make something awesome. But at the end of the day you don't really get anything for doing it... So I see no point either

Right now it's the pseudo equivalent of creative mode only. In creative mode, there are no monsters, infinite resources, and your character can't die.
Survival mode is really what brings out the flavor in minecraft, if for no better reason than you have to "earn" what you build by harvesting everything and *not* dying.
Initially the dev team (Mojang) wanted the pocket edition to be like creative mode only. Now apparantly they're giving it some survival mode teeth, as that's what the community has been clamoring for.
Here's to hoping there wont be too many corners cut. If so, I may have to hunker down and actually buy this one.
There is a free demo version for anyone who's curious. The demo version doesn't let you save your worlds, so whatever you build is gone when you close thr game.

Besides the ridiculous pricing and the lack of programs supporting the screen's ability, I refuse to support Apple so long as their business practices include the inane lawsuit wars that they have been waging. I really don't care about the eliteist toolbags who use them sometimes because we have PC/Android/etc users who are the same, but I won't give a one cent to a company who conducts business like Apple does.

I read their review, on the machine itself, then took the pictures. The review doesn't really show how good the display is in real life. I really, really want to dual boot ML and W8 on it and turn it into a HDTV, along with finding an external Blu-Ray drive for it.
It's shocking how far ahead they are in build quality against the PC manufacturers.
Exactly. I want to dual/trippel boot OSX/Win7/W8. I'm not a gamer but it's also nice to know that it'll run most games just fine.

Not a good idea. The retina display means nothing but trouble with regards to Windows. Windows doesnt do well with really high resolutions. Don't expect any gaming at all either. The 650m isn't a terrible card, but if you put it under much stress, expect a lot of overheating. That chassis is just way to small to deliever adequate cooling.
Tldr: If you want windows, buy a native windows machine this time around.
