Eh, the processor is pretty darn old, meaning your motherboard probably is quite outdated as well. I wouldn't bother trying to sell this. Donate it and try to get a tax refund =/

don't forget to wipe the hard drive (or just keep it)

Put a Linux distro on it. Most Linux distros will run faster than Windows would on that hardware.

Upgrading the RAM to at least 1G would definately make a difference with windows though.
