I would have rather spent another $30 and got a refurbished pismo with DVD drive and adapter and battery.

You will have to spend about $200 to get this unit up and running with no guarantee! Better luck next time!

depends on what you are going to be using it for.

I believe it will run panther just fine, and that panther would definately improve its performance....but with that small of hard drive you'll be severely limitied on doing just about anything, other than word processing/web surfing, but it should handle that very well.
