    363 MHz, ive never seen was as low actually, it could probably be upgraded if you had some extra cash, what will you be using it for?

    meh, it's only worht the money if your going to use it, and you can't use it for too much so think about what you'd be doing... I can't stand windows xp oon under 500 mhz, sooo laggy especially during window switching...

    I doubt that set up would be able to run css at all, well when i say 'run it' i mean reasonably as for memory im not sure how much you would need for them games best let someone else fill you in on that hope i helped a little bit.

    Personally, i think that Laptops are crap no matter
    what kind of Laptop you buy. 192 MB RAM? Dude, you
    wont be able to run anything with that. You need at least
    1024, especially since its a laptop.

    It likely wont be upgradable and theres zero chance it'll be able to run CS:S/Warhammer or any game made after 2001 for that matter. Even if it is upgradeable you won't be able to upgrade the parts to anything able to play games as it's incredibly obsolete

    its not going to overheat. 1) it would just take a very long time to load. the colors would be ----ed up. there would be no point in even opening photoshop.

    I would suggest reformatting to at highest, windows 2000. windows xp is just too much for that computer.

    Hmm?
    I wouldnt spend $50 on that, probally. I might do though, depending on the situation. I suppose it may be possible, with time and hassle to upgrade, but that'll cost a bit o' buck itself. If you need it, and will use, get it, if its just a novelty, give it a miss. Just my 2 cents. :)
