Ah! For an "older" laptop you might be best off not going for a desktop 
with hotrod graphic effects at all. Install XFCE, or Lubuntu, which is 
what I did for an "older" (10 years old) Thinkpad. It works reasonably 
well. In the long run, a desktop that you can modify cheaply is best on 
a "limited budget", from my perspective. The laptop is good enough to 
run Thunderbird and Firefox (but not at once!) which suits me as I am 
rarely on the road anymore. :) Ric
