What to do with an old Compaq with a meager P2 running at 300mhz and 64mb of ram.

Is there anything intrestering I could do with this system? I got it from a friend who hasnt used it since August of last year for free and I was wondering what all I could do to it besides overclocking. Its got a massive heatsink on the cart (Yeah, its one of those cartridge processors) thats stuck down with ceramic. Maybe I could use this case for something.. I dunno.

Fold with it, it will do a WU every few weeks.

You can leave it folding 24/7 and put a 120GB HD in it (It probably doesn't have 48bit HD support so 120GB should be your maximum) and also use it as a local file server.

Hey, that aint a bad idea. I just need to get ahold of a harddrive do that much. How much can one overclock a P2? Later on im gonna run CpuZ on it to figure out which type it is.

Yea, I have the same thing (not same comp, I got presario 4508) and I just use it as a file server. It stays in a room that never goes above 70 degress, and saves all my important files.

I wonder if I can even overclock it.. I just thought about the Pll thing.
