We have an older laptop that is a Latitude C600 that came from Dell with factory installed Windows 98 Second Edition.  It's previously been upgraded to XP Pro and has Office 03 on it. 

 

It's EXTREMELY slow and it's been replaced with a new Inspiron 1525.  We're not sure if we'll sell the laptop or keep it for internet use only.

 

My questions are:

 

1.  What would you do to speed this up?  Would getting rid of Office 03 help?  

2.  Is XP slowing it down more than anything else?

3.  What would you suggest doing with this laptop?

4.  If we reformat it.....how is that done with the Latitude laptops?  Is it Ctrl. F11 during bootup or what is it?

 

Thanks for your help!
