If that's the case, we could probably use Boyd's Compaq Presario 5660, too.
As far as I can tell, it's be a Pentium II/450.
For reference, the Pentium II/450 chip was released around mid 1998.
I purchased the Athlon 700 in 2000.
Unfortunately I don't have any hard drives to spare. I could free up an
8GB hard drive, but it's 7-8 years old, so it probably wouldn't have much
life left.
