Compaq Presario 1675 64MB onboard RAM and one slot that should take up to 
128MB but will not recognize any added  memory (including pc66, pc100, 
32-128MB).  Not usable with even Seamonkey 1.  Works fine with 
nongraphical browsers lynx and links.  Nice 1024 resolution, good keyboard 
and sound.  esssolo1 sound driver works perfectly with oss.
380MHz (overclocked to 400 says the previous owner).

The memory slot stopped working since it was given to me (with Win2K which 
runs awfully slowly now).

The mplayer 0.93 i586 cpu detection that I compiled plays internet radio 
(classicalwebcast.com has quite a few links that work with lynx browser, 
including pls, ram, asx).

The video version plays DVDs with -vo vesa (did not check svga or fbdev)
but the output is highly pixelated (large colored squares) possibly 
because there is no MMX2 or SSE support in the cpu to speed things up and 
the cpu is not fast enough without this.   This mplayer plays DVDs okay at 
2.7GHz even without MMX2.

I also have a 333MHz DELL with lots of RAM and DVD drive which probably 
won't play DVDs very well either.

This makes a perfect internet radio with BL.

Opera 9 loads quickly and plays an asx link (CPR) and a pls links (also 
CPR) at classicalwebcast.com
