I'm typing this right now on a nearly ten year old Inspiron 1720 that I picked up six-plus years ago used for $100 from an acquaintance who preferred her MacBook, and I souped it up for another few hundred dollars to run like a champ. I just recently cloned and replaced the hard drive with one big enough to load Win7 on, but haven't done it quite yet, so I'm still running Vista for right now.
