it would probably be more cost effective to just buy a whole new unit if it still runs Windows CE

With the specs of that, there is no way you could upgrade windows on it at all. Linux is a maybe if you run DSL or the modified version of Ubuntu. 64mb of ram is what i ran back in my first computer with Windows 98 (comp was from 96) and in the end i had to even upgrade that to run stuff.

You might be able to run SKYPE, but i doubt it will run very well.

For the 80 bucks, i hate to break it to ya, but, you may have gotten took to the cleaners. I don't know what you are going to use it for, but 64mb of ram has been unheard of since about 2000, and windows CE is a 14yr old operating system, 2gb of HDD also is VERY small, and will fill up pretty quick if you start installing software.

You can pick up a good netbook off newegg.com for around 200 bucks, that runs windows 7 starter, 1gb of ram 250gb HDD, Intel Atom Processor, and a 10in. screen with Mic and webcam built in. Those are the exact specs of the Gateway (Acer) that i'm using right now and it works pretty damn good.

a new OS would cost you around 100 bucks is the cheapest ive seen for windows 7 and you need at least a gig of ram to run that i would just get a netbook

Check those out, i've had good luck with stuff from all 3. Like i said in the PM though, Stick with that N450 or N455 processor and Windows 7, you'll be able to run skype as smooth as piss on a platter.

You could run windows XP on it, but you'd have no resources for programs.


Tried it on a P2 233 with 64 megs of ram, its stable but that computer is too old to be useful (no wifi, no network port).

As far as netbooks, try your luck at walmart, i bought a 10" N455 1Gig RAM with 250Gigs hdd Acer One for 249$ canadian plus tax (279$ in all i think) back in the beginning of summer, anything over that price for these specs is too much to pay considering its old technology.

No it HAS Wifi on it...Either way its getting sold or pawned for what I payed....
