Both are similar, came to me used, the "new" one will be a later HP,
than this Dell, both use DDR2 memory, have gigabit Ethernet, and use
SATA drives. I always set them to boot to a command line and then
start XFCE.
I have a couple of days to consider what I will try but value
greatly the information I get on this list.
Thanks for the help.
