Yes this computer will work with windows 2000 and microsoft office. I recommend updating the RAM by another 128. Windows XP cannot go on that system unless you have 256 ram or greater.
Also the HD is 4.6gb? This is not much space, so dont do anything on it other than your documents for school or work. Do not load a bunch of stuff on it.

it somewhat relies upon what you love to do with the computing device. Gaming? paintings? or merely surfing the internet with it, there are categories of laptops for each variety of individual. There are issues you ought to seem on the computing device like case in point how does it paintings after being on for a jointly as? Is the battery existence any good on the pass? How huge is the complicatedchronic it somewhat is the area of storage a working laptop or laptop has. additionally, confirm the computing device has a minimum of homestead windows XP by using fact it is going to likely be lots greater basic which you would be able to apply and likewise make certain it comes with a instant receiver so as which you would be able to connect directly to instant networks. merely make certain you attempt the computing device previously you purchase it and have some guarantee that it wont die out after an afternoon of use. good success!

To be very truthful with you, I recommend you forget aboiut doing anything more than getting it internet enabled. Take advantage of Google (or another service's) free word processing. That processor/memory combination is simply too old and slow for any of today's products. Spending money to upgrade it would be throwing good moeny after bad. Sorry...

Hi. It should work fine for browsing and word processing. It would struggle with most newer games. Also I would not invest in anything for this laptop, stick with your simple tasks and forget about Win XP. (I like Win XP, but it would not work fast enough on this machine.)
