    Eh, the processor is pretty darn old, meaning your motherboard probably is quite outdated as well.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.
