If you don't plan on doing anything but web surfing, and email then that would be ideal bailey...

Ram is so cheap, get 4 gigs of Corsair 667 or 800.
The board has one IDE controller, supports 2 drives. Make sure you have a decent ATX 2.x power supply. Moved to BYOPC. |

Most of them are now. For 20 bucks the Antec Basiq 350 will handle onboard video and entry level cards. You just don't want to reuse an old ATX 1.x unit because it won't have enough +12v.

well the upgrade went well and I also built another one with a old case that was stored in the basement.
I bought two of everything and now have two great working computers, one for a nephew and another one for me, which gives me a total so far of 5. |
