What's the processor? Because that's where netbooks stumble, big time. Any Pentium 4 is faster than an Atom. So were some of the later Pentium 3s.I'm using an HP Pavilion 510N that I've had for about 7 or 8 years now.
Looking at some of the specs of this computer (256MB RAM, 40GB HD) compared to others posted in this thread, I'm surprised that my computer can handle some of the newer programs I have installed. I'd like to upgrade soon, though, as even most netbooks have more memory and a bigger hard drive than my computer does.

The processor is an Intel Celeron 800MHz. It's not quite as powerful as a Pentium 4, and it looks to be about equivalent to some of the earlier Pentium 3s. I'm not sure how this compares to a netbook's processor, though.
How... descriptive. Also, you DO have some sort of video card, it just might be onboard. What CPU is it?OS Ubuntu
No Video card or Sound card
1 Gig RAM
Processor = OLD
not a new computer for me, but I did put in a couple new HDDs and a Webcam. Now I'm up to about 6TB of space which is so nice as I was running out before I added the 2(two) 2TB drives in today. The Webcam is a Logitech Vision pro cam. very nice quality.
Nice find, eMacs are fairly good workhorses. Slap Tiger on it and it should run well. Leopard is a bit more taxing on the older PPC machines, mostly due to its being optimized for Intel macs. Install tiger and you could set it up as a file/print server. (obviously for file server you may want a few USB HDDS with it.) or you could use it as a download computer.I picked this up just today;
eMac White
PPC G4 1.25GHz
1GB Ram
80 GB HDD
Superdrive
It's in great nick, I've just got to find a use for it. Tossing up between Tiger and Leopard.
