I am writing from Brazil, where they say "Sabemos o que aprecia?" (do we know what you need). The need across South America is for PCs that are cheap to run. "Old PCs" = "energy-greedy PCs". And it is getting harder for the developing world to generate the energy to run old PCs. Isn't it the same for you in the North of the world? So please if you are sending PCs to schools, send first the low-energy models.
