Currently has XP Pro and runs great. I really only used it as a toy...It has little use as I dont travel with it. I used the battery about 6 times so it should still hold a nice charge....
PM me if you're interested. I'd sell it for $300 or so. I also have a laptop with a 486-25 (DX) if you want something a little (er...a lot) cheaper :-)
