Okay, I'm definitely not a hardware guy, so I'm hoping some of you guys will be able to tell me if I'm wasting money here... I'm planning on buying another desktop for my office, and would like to see if the cheaper "refurbished" computers are a better deal than a new one... ebay desktop Pentium 4 2.4ghz / 2400mhz Memory (RAM): 512mb Memory Hard Drive: 20 Gigabyte monitor 19" black, flat panel monitor For the computer and monitor it would wind up being like $250ish... All I need this for is email, web surfing, the occasional online poker game, paint shop pro and a few other applications... But nothing too resource intensive... I often do find that I run a few applications at once though... What do you guys think? Nice set up or a waste of money? Thanks!
That seems like a great deal and considering that you do not run many applications simultaneously it may workout well for you.
I believe it's a waste of money. For double/triple the investment you can get yourself a 4x better computer with the lastest hardware and OS. the computer you are wanting to get is old and I believe by 2009/2010 you will need to upgrade again...its a o.k computer i guess but i would get a more powerful one.
HI, I also buying New AMD Phenomâ„¢ X4 Quad-Core, please suggest which is best configurations. thanks
What OS will be use on that computer? If it Vista, upgrade your RAM just like what others have suggest.
