DELL Inspiron 510m
Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.5 GHz
Memory: 256.0 MB / 2.0 GB (max)
Hard Drive: 40.0 GB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Display Type: 15.0 in TFT active matrix
Max Resolution: 1024 x 768 ( XGA )
Graphics Processor: Intel Extreme Graphics 2 Shared video memory (UMA)
Optical Drive: DVD-ROM - Plug-in module
I've upgraded the memory to 1.25 GB and this helped the system speed up considerably.
Also after around 3 years, I've replaced the battery.
Apart from the original operating system, I tried several others as dual boot: Ubuntu 10 works like a charm, 11 also works fine. However, Ubuntu 12 encountered several problems during boot, so I de-installed it. I also tried openSUSE 12.2 and it worked successfully, but I had some problems with wireless network connection so I decided also to skip this one. Debian 6 installation also failed in my opinion, due to unsuccessful recognition of network drivers. Although the system was running quite smooth, I consider an offline environment as failed.
In general, I am very happy with the performance of this system, the build quality, and reliability. It still works perfectly fine today.
If you own an Inspiron 510m, you may like to use it as a server running Linux, or home desktop with Windows XP.
