Just by way of a test and as a curiosity (in the manner that a traffic accident is a curiosity 
I wanted to see if it was possible to install Win7 on it and ... quietly now ... was it usable?
Toshiba 3000-S353 - With a fresh reboot and when at rest, memory footprint is about 275 MB. Surprisingly, this is actually usable as a browsing machine as long as you don't visit sites with a lot of "active graphics". This screen snip pretty much tells the story...
After about 15 minutes idle, memory footprint fell to about 230 MB.
