Cracked XP install missing crucial DLLs, GatorWallet toolbar on IE 4, but Doom runs great and it cranks out a paper when needed.
You forgot to mention the sound system hooked up instead of PC speakers and everyone's AIM sounds blasting down the hallway. Good times.
Our dorms were all block walls, so didn't really matter where the speakers were pointed. If your door was open everyone could hear everything. Was always fun logging into AIM and then hearing 10 doors simultaneously creaking open down the hall 😂
I still have that exact model of Dell sitting in a closet. Was in regular use until around 2014 or so. Even ran Vista on it for a while.It was not my dorm room PC though, that was an Athlon XP box I put together myself.

What do you mean, missing DLLs? Just download the missing DLLs from dll.com
