Netbook software to revive old mini-laptop?

by csmith200 Jul 10, 2009 10:23AM PDT

Have an old Toshiba Portege 3015 ultraportable. It's so close to the size of a modern netbook it made me wonder if I could load netbook software to make it a useful machine again. Right now it's on Windows ME. (When's the last time you saw that?) Current specs are: Intel Pentium 266Mhz (2.0V/2.5V) w/MMX Technology
Integrated Coprocessor Yes
Processor Cache 32KB: (16KB code; 16KB data)
External data bus width 64 bit
External data/address bus speed 66 MHz
Memory--maxed out at 96 meg

My netbook is 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM and runs XP. I'm going to write no.
