A collegue has asked me what upgrade options he has for the following system..
Compaq Presario 5000 Series
5WV296
AMD Athlon 1GHz (Thunderbird I believe)
128MB (100/133 MHz)
30 GB Hard drive (5400rpm, EIDE)
My initial (and to some extent, ongoing) thought was to scrap it and start again but I would be interested to hear other peoples suggestions are.
I've hunted around and found you can actually buy RAM that slow still and a new EIDE HDD could be fitted (I assume any EIDE would work OK) but it's still around £150 quid.
Any opinions?
