    Well I found someone selling a Pentium 4 Small Form Factor computer.

    It has the following specs and I want it would be good for such as graphics design and web development or just a gaming computer.

    - Intel Pentium 4 running at 3.2GHz CPU
    - ASUS P4P800-MX motherboard
    - 512 Megabytes RAM memory
    - 40 Gigabyte hard drive 7200RPM
    - DVD/CDRW drive
    - Integrated video controller
    - Integrated audio controller
    - Integrated Ethernet
    - 1.44M Floppy Drive, Dual case fans
    - 3 PCI slots, Serial port, Parallel port
    - Keyboard port, Mouse port
    - 4 USB Ports (2 front accessible)
    - Power cord

    The computer system does not include a monitor, operating system, keyboards, or mice but it costs $135 + $37.50 shipping and handling. So what does everyone think this would be good for? Also how would it compare to a dual core HP Pavilion with 2.4GHz?

    I'd say you need more memory (at least 2 gigs), a video card and preferebly more HD space. Other than that it looks fine.

    For web designing purpose, I think you also need to buy VGA card.

    The computer will work, but it will be very slow. i recommend atleast, 1.5 - 2.0 gb of ram. and 120 gb of harddrive, anyways it all depends on what you are going to use it.

    It's ok for that price. But I would suggest at least 1 gig of memory.

    Looks ok to me, but I think the price could go lower.

    You won't be able to use that for gaming but will be fine for designing etc. and it is a good price.

    VGA is a type of connection from the computer to the monitor so idk what the hell you're talking about.
