Os: Microsoft Windows XP
Cpu: Kinda sucks 800mhrz Intel. Don't know what the revison is if there is even one.
Hard drive: Segate 160 Gigs
Video: Geforce II 64 megs Pci
Ram: 512 megs Sd ram (Don't know what company.)
Misc: Cdrom Hp CD RW, Zip drive (Can only write 100 meg.)
One last thing which runs pretty good for only having a 800mhrz processor. Vmware pretty good program I would suggest it to anybody who has wanted to run two or more operating Systems at once.
 
Good for what? :confused:

Are you buying this or are you asking if its good for gaming or programming or something? If buying...how much?

I would say the 800MHz processor isn't exactly "good" by my standards. But my 866MHz P3 plays lots of nice games no lag (I'm playing Stronghold right now, integrated gfx even plays it lol)

Also the SDRAM...is it PC100 or PC133? it may only run at 100MHz even if it is PC133, depends on processor/mobo really. 512MB should be fine for XP (btw is it Home or Professional?) and basic use.

My mobo is an hp 6835 already own it. It's a little old so I guess the speed of the ram would be 100mhrz. Xp professional without all the animation except for the start bar cause I like that.
 
mate get a new pc do us all a favour

That's not really a helpful comment.

@Jiffyman - I still don't understand what your question is. Is this the computer you have/are putting together? Are you asking if it will perform well? Please ellaborate :)
 
Thanks Yeti

First of all I would like to say thanks for sticking up for my pc. Second I've already built the computer I think it runs pretty good but I just want to know what your input is on it and it is a computer I already have. I know the cpu sucks, but I'm just wondering what you guys think about all the other hardware
I plan on building a computer soon as I get some ram for some dimm slots if thats correct.
 
Based on the listed components the system looks pretty good; the components should work well together with no component being a major bottleneck. I have almost the same system and it works pretty well for being 5 years old, runs everything except newer games.
 
I could run a lot of stuff on my K6/2 333MHz, and it had an AGP slot, which helped.

Jiffyman, does your system have an AGP slot? Based on the speed of the CPU, I would imagine that it would have an AGP2X.....but then again, mebbe not
 
The hard drive is good, the ram is pretty good, your cpu sucks and your graphics card, while way better than mine, sadly, yes, it still sucks.

Saying that something "sucks" really doesn't get anywhere. His computer, though it won't be lightning fast or able to play recent games, will run most programs just fine. As I said, I have the about the same system and if I had any better components in it it would be a waste of money for what I use that system for. Also, as I already mentioned, the components are well matched - none of them are too fast for the other components (for example, putting a 6800Ultra wouldn't make much sense in that system)

As for Jiffyman - you might want to specify what you're planning on doing with the computer for us to tell you if its "good" or not.

I put it in terms he could understand. He asked if the system was good, good to me is a performance rating in simple terms. If he asked me what the difference was between two components and I said, "your graphics card sucks" that would be a different story. I don't really know what you expect me to answer to a person who asks if his computer is "good" or not, I don't see how I could reply back to that with specs. I didn't mean it as a personal insult to the guy or something. :P

800MHz is way outdated. The hard drive is good, the ram is decent, the graphics card is very old, you won't be able to play many games on that. Oh, and honestly, who asks if their pc is "good" or not if all they want to do is run programs. Sure people benchmark how fast stuff can be processed but let's get down to it, anybody seeking advice on if their system is good or not and anybody buying new high end pcs want them for gaming or extreme video and graphics editing. Theres really no use for having a PC thats really good other than that.
 
I understand what you mean, but if you don't have enough info just ask. A lot of people who post questions on this forum don't tell us everything right away and you just have to ask what they want. This forum is to help people and it doesn't help anyone to say that something sucks. Just a thought :o
 
There's more to computers than gaming and benchmarking. I would rather check my e-mail on my faster computer...because its faster at loading webpages. I'd rather do my school work/actual work on my main rig, and i'd rather watch DVD's/listen to music/burn CD's on my main computer. If my 866MHz PC could do all that then i'd use that..but it does it at about half the speed if not slower. none of that is really CPU intensive compared to gaming and programming and stuff...but it really makes the difference when i am wondering whether or not i should turn on my old computer or jsut use my main rig.
 
4W4K3, I totally agree, but if you notice I said High-End. If this guy wasn't into or 3D Graphics or gaming I highly doubt he'd be asking if his video card is good. If he's into gaming or 3D Graphics then his processor is not good.

@Yeti you are right I should have made a better choice of words, have mercy on me im a noob here. :(!

yes it is pretty slow even for older games, but it'll run Half-Life (what computer wont lol) and some classics. Usually you want a minimum of 1.5GHz.
 
No Agp slot

No i don't have an agp slot on my pc and the worst thing about it is I only have three pci slots so I don't any space for extra cards.
 
Duddder i suggest you never play a game on that system just do word and IE that is all. Me Being a major gamer you aren't going to run a thing with that, Well anything good at least.
