| | Well, my Dad and i bought it off a New Zealand internet auction site (trademe). Luckily the seller lived in the same town we do. Anyway im not going to say how much it was, just that it was between 200-400 US Dollars.
The main specs are
2.0GHz
768mg RAM (Upgrading in future)
40gb Harddrive (Upgrading asap)
CD Writer and DVD reader
64mb video card (upgrading in future)
It has 7 different media bays for video cameras etc. LAN card, Internal modem card, Audio card, 2 USB ports at front and 4 (i think) at back. Both run at 2.0x speed.
Comes already with XP Pro and Office 2003 but i will get Vista after i upgrade RAM and when it comes out! Also comes with a few games.
Id like to say a big thanks to everyone that replied to my other thread, your information helped ALOT and ill let you know how it gets on in the future. |

'grats on your purchase mate. Looks a bit outdated to me, but as long as it suits your purposes it should do fine (whether that processor will be able to run Vista well is another thing). Let us know when you're upgrading

great dude but your system is a little bit outdated for the present softwares and games. Now a days a 3GHz HT Processor is a bare minimum.

How ever outdated it might be 200-400 buck is an awesome price for a 2gig processor with 768MB RAM and Office 2003. The RAM and Office are actually quite expensive buying both of those would have cost you almost 300 dollars US. So you did get a good start on upgrading your computer.

Unfortunetly office didnt actually come with it, although the shortcut icons were on the desktop the guy had taken them off. I got office for free anyway through my mum, who works at school so its 100% legal.

Upgrading an old computer is not that easy since it uses memory modulles like SDRAM. They are hard to find and if you have found them sometimes the mainboard doesn't accept them. For the basic stuff your computer is sufficient , maybe changing the graph card will be a needed upgrade. A graphcard of 64 MB is not very recent, but here you have also some types of interfaces. PCI or AGP 4x and AGP 8x , the newer card are now PCI -express with your mainboard doesn't support. So before buying something to upgrade download the manual of your mainboard and look out for what it supports , not all components can be used.

Mum's old computer was bought in 1997 and it had 32mb of RAM so it was a bit lacking.. She wouldnt let me install any games on her laptop so i just got my own one..

Sounds a bit like mine. I bought a desktop for $200, upgraded to 766 MB of RAM and it already had like a 80 GB hard drive so I didn't upgrade. I then bought a better graphics card. That sounds like a decent computer. Probably good enough to play some games on it, might get some lag online but it shouldn't be too bad. Probably like mine. I plan on upgrading as well if I can earn some extra cash.

My New Computer
I would like to know if anyone has thought about changing the processor out of an old Area51 766 notebook with an Intel Pentium 4 3GHz 800 MHz FSB 512K Cache processor for a new Intel Core 2 Duo? They should have the same 775 pin but would it work? -Richard

What about me? I'm still using AMD Sempron +2800 running on 1.8Ghz(I prefer long time of life than max performance). and 1GB RAM. I think if you're only using 40GB HDD then your computer is enough, but if you're upgrading it into 160-300gb HDD, than you need higher processor, It can make the OS hang if your HDD is too big and your computer become unstable. for my advice, you can use 160-300 if you're using high end motherboard(need high performance chipset) which support Pentium D or AMD X2 FX.

QUOTE great dude but your system is a little bit outdated for the present softwares and games. Now a days a 3GHz HT Processor is a bare minimum. You are right there delivi. It aint like the pentium is out already in the CPU race but a 2.0GHz is kinda out of date. I remember that the first Pentium 4 processor I ever used on my PC was a 2.4GHz P4 A and that was about 2 years now, since 2005. I wouldnt go for anything lower than a Core2Duo and a minimum of 2.4GHz on that for any computer I am gonna buy from now onwards. ANyways, I am going for a Quad for sure this time.

spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far
