Well, majority of schools-- elementary to college-- have poor performing computers in the computer labs and libraries for menial tasks such as web browsing or word processing.
My last college were still using Pentium IV Celerons and Windows 2000 in every library workstation as of last year. They haven't updated ever since I started there many years ago. If you think that's bad, my elementary school are still using IBM PS/2 and Macintosh IIc computers in their computer labs, and I graduated from there in 1994.
*sigh*
It would be nice if the schools a whee bit more cash towards updating their computers for their students. These Tri-core or dual-core would be perfect since they're affordable.
Amazingly, my high school actually updates their computers. They now have Windows XP and MS Office 2007 on all their PCs in the only computer lab on campus with Intel Core Duo CPUs (cheap, affordable ones of course).
