Thank you all for your great suggestions.
Yes I do have a spare HDD slot. I also have the connector shown in the link. I am kinda anal when it comes to electronics. I still have my original box for my dell. Actually I have quite a few boxes of everything I own (wife thinks I'm crazy).
I believe I will do as suggested and buy some Memory first. Probably fresh installs of 2 x 2gigs to give me a total of 4.
I'll save up a few bucks and buy me a nice SSD so I don't sacrifice any performance.
Any other suggestions on what I can use the laptop for?
I use my iMac for everything else. Laptop has been abandoned for a couple of years. I'm trying to bring it back to life.
I thought about using the laptop somehow thru my home network to be a hub for my Raspberry Pi HTPC..... Can this be done? Is it worth my time?
Thanks a million
