Hello,
I've been given a '01-'02 Sony Vaio XP 128MBRam, notebook and wondering if anything can be squeezed out of it. Its very sloooow to say the least, very different to what I'm use to with my desktop - its a 800Mhz AMD Duron, but Windows only reports it to be 486Mhz!? Here is a Belarc report if you dont mind :
