you are very correct. not in question to your knowledge, i did run a
search to locate info on cpu for my knowledge.

what caused my thinking to be in error is there is a label to right of
rest pad that states 'Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit'.

chemo brain again. 8=\

run 'win 7', no way in hell do i run oos.

this lt came with oos 7 already installed. after i tricked the oos 7
partition a few times to reduce size, i repartitioned drive with oos
down to sda1= 1.6 GB system, sda2= 43.0 GB oos 7, sda4= 8.4 GB recovery,
sda3= extended sda5= 1.1 GB boot, sda6= 3.1 GB swap, sda7 thru
sda10= 11 GB linux os, sda11= 84 GB home, sda12= 66 GB open use.

only reason i left oos 7 is that if i ever, God forbid, am forced to
lower my self, it is installed. only times i have booted oos was during
repartitioning to see if it had problems with sda3. it did not, i have
not booted oos again. i did pull an update package, do not recall which
and i burned the 3 dvds. that i all i have done with oos.


during the writing of this, i started pulling 7.1511 on tower.

i do thank you for bringing it to my attention. very much appreciated.

In that case stop wasting your time with CentOS 7 i386 and install the
native x86_64 version of CentOS 7.  This will give you access to all the
3rd party repos you'll want as well, such as epel and nux.

also, try and scrounge another DDR2 SODIMM for that thing, according to 
my google search, it supports up to 2 x 4GB == 8GB, and you said you 
only have the stock 2GB.   4GB will be way better performance with a 
GUI, 8GB would be even better.   you still have a really slow CPU and if 
its still got the original 5400RPM HD, a really slow HD, but don't make 
it triple-suffer from not enough ram.  (a SSD replacing the SATA HD 
would make it actually pleasant to use)
