I bought a 266 MHZ PC offline a few months back that came installed with 32 MB of RAM. It was slow as shit, but I figured it was just the processor as I'm used to using a 2.5 GHZ system and haven't used a clunker in quite a while.
I found a 64 MB stick of RAM laying around from my old system and popped it in the 266 machine to increase the total memory to 96.
DAMN what a difference. I installed XP on the machine and it runs smooth.
Case in point: upgrade the RAM - it's cheap and effective.
I think mine has a low limit, but I'll still look to upgrade ASAP.
Should I worry about the security issue for wireless, if, say, I live out in the sticks and no neighbors in the immediate vicinity seem to know how to turn on a computer let alone hack?
