They were ordered by the school system in 2007. No GPU, 3 gigs of RAM, 150 GB hard drives, and the CPU is "AMD Anthlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.50GHz". There has to be something I can make with them.

I have an old imac
from 2009
that I have of an isolated network

when a student or teacher forgets their password more than twice a month, I put them in front of it, get them to 'try' to log into their email and remind them that computers can be worse and they won't get it reset for another week if it happens a 3rd time.

AMD Anthlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.50GHz

That's almost like my Compaq I had around that time.

I remember being excited when I went from 4500 to a 4800 and 1 gig of added RAM.

Also was my first time changing a processor by hand.

I still have a usable laptop from 2011 thats been made completely disconnected from the internet and I just use to hook up to my massive living room tc via hdmi to play downloaded offline computer files.

It also is a fine offline computer in general too and still works so whatever.

Why?
What do you mean why? Sticks of memory are 1gb, 2gb, 4gb etc. You either have 1 or 2 sticks. To get 3GB you'd have to have mismatched memory which is not normal
