i repaired this IBM Thinkpad T42 Laptop for my buddy but he got a new one for his graduation and said i could keep it. but it only has a 40 GB HDD with 1GB RAM. does that seem kinda small for your guys perspective?

40GB and 1GB of RAM is extremely small but it depends on what he will use it for. Since he just graduated I will guess that he will use it for college which that computer seems like it should get him through college. Even then just regular researching and papers can limit him due to the laptop.

I'll pay you for it. PM me if you're interested.

Although, if you really want to make it fly, put a distro of Linux on it. Even Ubuntu will fly, but look at Debian, Mint, and more. If you want any help with this, just tell me. I'm a huge Thinkpad fan.
