Wow, you knew I was using Vista. Most people guest I am using Win98, Win2000, WinNT from looking at my Classic theme.
If I knew how to change the Start Button to the Win98 start button I bet I can fool more of the less techy.
It takes around 50-60 seconds to boot, and good enough for what I do "going online, homework, watching videos, simple image editing.
I never bench marked it with a real benchmarking program,
It has 2x512MB sticks of DDR2 ram running at 266 Might add an extra 2 GB of ram and a better videocard instead of the intel integrated video
I am currently using. later when I am less poor.
I also disable most of the services, and programs I don't use in msconfig and service.msc
The ram isnt to bad, what is the brand name and stuff? It all looks good enough for a computer for very little, I am all techy and stuff so Im not good with vista...
Oh, that would make a nice Ubuntu machine... A very nice one indeed. If you ever wish to install it. Just PM me and I will tell you how, or you can go through it yourself, you arent stupid, and its rather simple.

Yes Mint is based off of Ubantu,but unlike Ubantu it has alot more gui tools and is more user friendly.
