Well I need a computer just to go on MSN and forums.
I found this one for 拢30 and it says...
This computer includes
Celeron 633mhz PROCESSOR (minimum)
Compact Desktop style
10gb Hard DRIVE (minimum)
1.44 MB FLOPPY
CDROM drive
128 MB MEMORY (minimum)
SVGA GRAPHICS HIGH RESOLUTION
BROADBAND READY via USB ports - can add 56k modem for 拢10
SOUNDCARD (beware of cheap offers that don't specify sound - if they don't specify it you will get a silent computer)
Network Card
2 USB PORTS - ideal for printers, digital cameras etc
MOUSE
KEYBOARD
POWER CABLES
SPARE PCI SLOTS
RTB WARRANTY
Currently running Windows 2000 Professional
15" SVGA Monitor or upgrade to a 17" for an additional 拢10
IMMACULATE CONDITION
These systems sell very fast so get in now before they are gone
I could sell these in my shop at 拢90 - ALL DAY
Is it worth the price? Will it just be crappy and slow? It will be crappy and slow.
Celerons are being phased out, and especially a low end one that only runs at 633MHz
Broadband High speed internet via ethernet cable is connected throught the Network card not USB.
Buying a 56K modem will only be useful for dial-up (which is now slow internet)
The standard OS now is Windows Vista. Win2000 is being phased out.
17' monitors are the standard not an extra.
All computers should come with soundcards, DVD-rom drive, and at least 30GB hard drive, >2 USB ports, and at least 512MB memory RAM. Video card should have at least 128 to 256MB of video ram, standard features.
This ad you have is trying to sell you an immacuate 2002 computer in 2007. Not a good deal my friend if you are looking to run the latest software, for gaming, and for online downloading of plug-ins and utilities patches that may not work on Windows 2000.
You could upgrade the OS to WinXP, but then you have to have a copy or purchase XP, and given the slow CPU, small ram and harddrive space.
WinXP on this computer would be slow...crappy slow.
Windows Vista on this computer would be death. |
