I have a 10 year old IBM T23 that runs Ubuntu tolerably well even - just
not HD movie playing!
For a PC of any age the big secret is getting as much memory as possible.
A while ago I managed to buy and extra 1G of ram for my daughters old P4
machine for just £6. It made a huge difference to performance of things
like Firefox to have 2GB not just 1GB.
The importance of memory is why Microsoft chose to cripple netbooks by
insisting that they were only sold with 1G if the manufacturers wanted
virtualy for free Windows on them. They really should not have been
allowed to get away with that and all the technology waste it caused.
