I have a seven year old Packard Bell iStart 2365 intel pentium 4. What is your overall opinion on this machine, it has had two new hardrives, 1gb ram added, Nvidia gforce gfx added, networked, etc...
It is an older machine but why should you care what other's opinions are of it? Does it do the job you need it to do and do it reliably? A P4 doesn't have the horsepower to run the latest games but is perfectly fine for other uses like surfing the web, email, word processing, etc...
do you know the speed of you pentium 4 cpu, a pentium 4 processor can perform very well aslong as your not a gamer, 1gb ram is a bit low but fuctional.
Pentium 4 is rubbish in anyone's terms now. A 20 pound core 2 duo on ebay will spank it. I would suggest you post what you are intending to do, and if you have a budget.
