So... i got a very old P.o.s. comp, and have been in need of a new more modern and uptodate one... it's pentium 3 only 10 meg of memory, all of which are used and full up... im down to about 500meg of free space on a good day, and i have to continusly free up memory on a damn near 2-3 day basis... its to the point that I'v even been getting the Dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH... uck... ive got a decent exeternal hd (160gigs) w/ about a hundred gigs of empty space left... but that only good for storage... does nothing for my system overall stability and OS...
So I came across this offer that Im thinking of taking advantage of, its for a mini tower (which is basically an all new main harddrive) that im considering getting to replace my P.O.S old one, i figure w/ that ill be good as ive no prob w/ my moniter and other add ons... But i wanted to know was, what any of the more knowledgable experts here think, is it worth it for me to do, or would i just be getting taken? And If i do, what kind of improvements if any can i or should i request to really soup it up?
A summary of the offer as follows:
mini Dell brand gx240 and gx260 desktop towers; pentium IV 2.0-2.4ghz processor, 20gb harddrive, 512mb ram; 4-6 high speed usb ports an intergrated video port, eternet port, w/ floppy and cd rom drive included; windows XP service pack 3 and zone alarm antivirus for $120 bucks
can upgrade to a cd/dvd burner for additional 50 bucks;
upgrades to mem (30 bucks per 128mb ram)
upgrades to harddrive (35 bucks per 20gb)
so what do yahll think?
