So today I went back for the 6400...

It cost me $25, but I really couldn't just leave it there to fend for itself.

Knowing the kind of abuses that the 6116 suffered, I knew it had to be saved... and plus when I asked the woman how much ram it had, she told me 512.

Knowing a 6400 tops out at 136mb, I did a search for "Performa 6400" and "512", and I got a bunch of returns about upgrade cards, so I thought maybe that was what she was talking about.

So anyway, I brought it home along with yet another monitor, printer, and scanner, which I don't need. All of them were disgusting and looked like they had never been cleaned.

I pulled the mobo and discovered a 56kmodem, a whopping 8mb of ram, a 1.4gb hdd, and a stock processor. Crap. :(

Nevertheless, I cleaned the case and gave it a fresh install of 8.6.

Anyone have any ideas about what I should do with this thing? I already have a 6400 with better specs than this one.
