old PC's/laptops

[Pablo]

are they worth upgrading? i'm not really into the tech side of things but i've a bit of equipment laying around and was wondering if they are worth upgrading?

[Pablo]

bit better than that.............just


last i checked both were of the windows 98 vintage. but as i said i havent a clue!

for game playing etc i though upgrading them might be handy?

What Processor speed? - when reboot machine should hopefully see XXX Mhz at the initial black screen...

How much memory? Start/Programs//Setting/Control Panel/System - should see how much RAM there...

HD size? - check in My Computer or Windows Explorer....

----------------

Processor gonna be important as RAM should be affordable to upgrade & same with disk space...
