What should i do with my old computer ? May be it is the first Question come to your mind when you see your old computer. It is true that you can't run new games on your PC. Max Pyane had 20GB in size and need high end Graphics and System resources. You can use your Old computer for Office works ,Browsing and for Watching Films , May be you have Windows XP on your PC , best OS we ever seen , but if you want to Install Linux on your PC , you can consider these OS , Puppy Linux is best for Old PC , simple and powerful OS. We prefer Puppy if you have Pentium 3 Processor.
