I have an older P4 with i think 1GB ram in it. Old Del Ideacenter.. It
works, and i think i have a Nvidia 5xxx series card in it.
If you want it for her you can have it. I think i have a 30 or 40 GB
HDD in it. It was all working last i had it out and about.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
