Slow Processor!! Dont expect to play much or do anything on it!! 800mhz single LOL

g25racer · 05-06-2008, 11:27 PM

Oops its a dual-core but, still really slow!

Yeah, it's cheap, but I'd look for something slightly better. they have great deals on ebay.

Yeah very true! Also keep an eye out for Circuit City and Best Buy adds. They get new pc's in every month and sell the older ones super cheap. I got the pc listed below for $550 minus the obvious addons like the extra hdd, vid card, and psu. I was so happy when I got that. I actually bought it the day after this past christmas!

I don't think that the processor ACTUALLY runs at 800mhz, he probably looked under system info while in power saving mode... Correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt there are sub 1ghz Turion x2 processors.

I didnt even know you could get that low of clocked dual cores! Then again I dont know much about older stuff.

CPTMuller · 05-07-2008, 01:33 AM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it has a 1.5GHZ AMD Turion X2 http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/...3912Rsp2.shtml
