7. I asked him

and the only slow one is in an old Gateway laptop. I kinda remember that thing smokin' (literally) so don't think that would be good. Have you posted on the computer forum karl?

8. Not sure what SX20 means

33 was the speed of the RAM, I believe, I dunno. My 1st computer here at work... as we got better computers, I brought the old one home. There is absolutely no reason in the world that we would have kept it... Just like there is no reason we still have my 19 yo son'd 2 yo clothes... my wife is a pack rat...

It was a Compuadd 386, 33 Mhz...

6. I have an old (but working!) Packard Bell 386 that I could let go.

It's just taking up space in my "crap closet." Are you serious about wanting to buy it?
