Hi everyone,
My computer that I use in my workshop finaly took a crap, I was given 2 desktops over the past few weeks, I want to know what one is better. I am going to use the better one in my workshop just for internet, playing music and printing things out of ms word. The other desktop I will be giving to replace my aunts old windows ME pc..... anyway here are the 2 desktops in questions:
1: HP Pavilion a710e- I got this desktop from my fire dept, they have used it for a few years never a problem, it is factory restored with windows xp pro sp3 installed. specks are:
AMD Athlon 3500+ 2.20ghz
1GB PC3200RAM
80GB HD
DVD-RW
FireWire
8USB ports, Front sound, USB firewire,
2: Dell Dimension 3000- Given to me by a friend
Celeron 2.66ghz
1GB PC2100 RAM ( windows sees 768mb )
80GB HD
Win XP Pro SP3
8USB ports, Sound ports, floppy drive in front
DVD-ROM
CD-RW
Just would like to know the better one I should use for basic use. Please let me know what you think of these systems, I would buy a new one for down here but I am down here 3 our 4 times a month and I just spent enough money building my main desktop this past week. Thanks in advance!
