How can I make my pentium III (3) 750mhz laptop my main pc. I want to go back, I had a dual 550mhz pentium III (3) as a youth.

You can't. Current operating systems and software is so bloated it lags even on few years old hardware.

Which would you use? I've got two 32-bit pentium 4 machines with 2x 512MB DDR RAM in each. They've been in storage for about five years ever since I finally gave up on WinXP. Had both of them running torrents 24/7 for a decade, uploaded something like 300 TB off a few external HDDs using their USB 2 ports.

If you want to browse the web :
1) you can't
2) See 1.
Instead what you will need to do is make your own custom frontends to basically most of the web as 90% of it is shit like React abuse, bloated as fuck JavaScript that rapes even gaming rigs, which is ironic given web browsers themselves can run UE4 at 60FPS.

But there lies the issue - most modern sites are built via that JavaScript.
You will have to process their shitty JS to get that webpage to be able to view it anyway.
Or, you're going to have to at the least find their internal API endpoints that their shit-scripts ping to get info.
Any time those APIs change, you're fucked until you fix it because it means going back on to that lagfest of a webpage to run a network trace on a very underpowered machine.

It's fine if you want to browse some minor and basic webpages like this, and I say "this" very loosely, one sticky and your browser is having a stroke.
It could make for a good info panel, download a fuckload of info-dump websites and make a custom frontend for it or using an existing one.
Wikipedias, education websites, etc.

tl;dr don't
If you want to keep the laptop frame, yank out the motherboard and update it with Framework or some shit, or a modern version of the laptop if it exists.

See how far you can get with this, otherwise it should still be perfectly usable

All you need is willpower from a few nerds, sadly zoomers are feckless retards and won't do anything unless specifically told to do it.
