I know it doesnt give you any info on the ram or anything at all but thats how its being advertised, its not a custom build it is from dell, and i can get it for probly about 450CAN
and it only has 30day warranty but is new apparently what do you figure thanks alot

I wouldn't bother buyin refusbished stuff since if it gets fked up you won't have warranty

 

[Dazzeerr]

Yeah, you want a 1 year warranty on all those items atleast. Then atleast when something does **** up, you might of been thinking of upgrading anyway

 

[K3rupt]

But for 450 Bucks?

Thats not too Bad.

Its the warranty that seems real dodgy

 

[dark_legacy2006]

well i dont know cause there is 30 day warranty and apparently its new, like even if it did mess up couldnt i sell the parts for 450 or at least 350

 

[dark_legacy2006]

it seems pretty decent for that price has everything but a vid card

 

[K3rupt]

I can tell you its a

AMD 3800+ Athlon XP Processor just looking at it.

Proof, I have that Processor, 2.4 is its Standard Clock Speed.

One thing you dont know, is if the processor has ever been overclocked....

 

[dark_legacy2006]

alright well you guys didnt really think it was worth it but i managed to win it for about 345CAN. I thought i did good considering it is Windows Vista with COA(alone worth like 200) i bought it off ebay tell me if i did good or not, it only has 30day waranty so when i get it im gonna use it hardcore to see if anything messes up.... is that a good idea?

and i sure hope it isnt 4 512 mb of memory running at like 333, if it is indeed brand new dell would do something stupid like that would they

 

[dark_legacy2006]

hmmmmm lookigna rounda t this other auctions again hes selling the same thing except a 2.8ghz, and a 100gb smaller harddrive ......... i hope i did good

is there a scam out there for validating windows vista where problems might arise in the future?

You cant play hardcore gaming with an onboard video card

I suggest you run Orthos, or benchmark it for 24HRs, that way yuo can make sure that it wont break down

 

[dark_legacy2006]

how do i run these test exactly and iw as thinking about getting a a video card but im not sure what it has a mobo, i guess you could say i wnet into this blind

 

[oscaryu1]

Meh just get an GeForce PCI... any should do

Either that or AGP...

Download ORTHOS (google it)

Or 3DMark06

An GeForce MX440 / GeForce FX5200 seems good for it

 

[dark_legacy2006]

well i doubt it has an agp slot, but just a pci e, ill probly go without a vid card for a month or 2

 

[oscaryu1]

Check out what the integrated vid card is first, my inspiron 1200 can play halo fine...

 

[dark_legacy2006]

well if this comp is good enoguh i would like to play games liek wolfenstein and counter strike, halo, Unreal Tournament, games liek that so i will need a graphics card (which i will also get off of ebay)
