as the title says i have an old latitude c640 that i do not know what to do with. It has a radeon 7500 with maybe 32mb of ram, a 30 gig hard drive with xp pro, cpu is an old p4 mobile 1.7ghz, and 512mb of ram. i also have an old ipod 20 gig that i would like to use along with this machine (totals to about 40 gigs of hard drive space) but since the usb port is broken i do not know what to do. would i be able to fit a usb pci card in even though i already have a wireless card in one of the two expansion slots? I am thinking of getting a bigger hard drive and then turning it into a server, however i know nothing about this. any ideas on what i could or should do with this old laptop that still runs fairly fast given its age?

thanks pillow
