I'm actually surprised there's enough memory in the machine to run a modern desktop environment and web browser. A 2004 era machine probably only has between 0.1 and 0.5 GB of RAM. I think?

I have an old IBM Thinkpad that Strategic Data was going to throw away but gave to me instead. It has 320M RAM (yes, 64M internal plus an extra 256M) and runs LXDE Debian Wheezy just fine, including a current web browser. Cheers, Andrew
