So how old is your laptop.... I have an old one with 2kb of ram
IT's not really worth it working on old things... they generally dont work or not worth it.

Chase is also right, you might as well just sell the entire thing. IBM personal laptops are OLD. Someone might buy it to collect it . There really isn't anything you can strip from it that is useful.

| If it's not at least a Pentium 3 or equivalent, it's not worth putting any money into. Otherwise grab a wireless NIC for the PCMCIA slot.

Well dude I just wanted to know what you were using it for so I could give an opinion if buying more stuff to use it would work at all anyways. With a .5 Ghz running 200 mb RAM and 11 gigs, I don't think you can get very much done. just saying dude.
