Solve : Can $330 Buy PC Desktop with great specs?? |
|
Answer» Can $330 Buy PC Desktop with great specs? It is for eternal at home use This is to be a Desktop, not a laptop. It must be new, No use parts. Exclude shipping and tax, but stay under $330. Either Intel or AMD, Prefer 2 core 64 bit. LCD screen. Windows 7, any version. NOT TRIAL VERSION. DVD burner required. Does not have to be blue ray. Basic Ethernet required. Video, Hard drive and Ram: Whatever works great and within budget. Any ideas welcome. A titch (very technical term) over but lot's of stuff in it. http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/ads/2010/05/07/47836/HP-Desktop-PC-a4310f-AMD-Athlon-II-X2-250U-Processor truenorthI do recommend the Athlon II CPUs - Very cheap and reasonable power (Only problem is no Level 3 Cache) Personally, I have the Athlon II x4 620 Why not build it yourself?This is the best I could come up with for the price and you would have to build and use Ubuntu for an OS.

Otherwise, you wont see much of a difference.Also in general terms most PSU's that come included with a case are garbage... Just a heads up.Quote from: geewhiz on May 11, 2010, 08:45:13 AM if your going to use the 64 bit windows 7 to its fullest, I recommend getting at least 4-5 gigs of ram.

Really?What do you mean, Salmon?Then the answer to his question is no. You can't get a great spec computer for $330.00. I don't consider the one I spec good let alone great spec. He also said that he wanted a LCD for that price and Windows 7. He could get this at Micro Cemter for $249.99. then he wold have enough money for a cheap LCD. Still now Windows 7.

Geewhiz wrote Quote if your going to use the 64 bit windows 7 to its fullest, I recommend getting at least 4-5 gigs of ram. Knowing that there are various meanings that a hyphen can have, I read that as suggesting that to use 64 bit Windows 7 to its fullest, either one needs "four to FIVE" or "four or five" gigabytes. I thought 5 GB was an unusual amount. Quote from: Salmon Trout on May 11, 2010, 01:09:09 PM Geewhiz wroteI agree it's an unusual amount. But, I guess a system could have 5GB. For example, if the computer had 4 memory slots, it could have 2 x 2GB plus 2 x 512MB, for a total of 5GB. Quote from: I Shooter on May 11, 2010, 12:37:56 PM Then the answer to his question is no.

But according to that, I can't use Win 7 x64 to it's full potential, since I 8GB. Quote from: BC_Programmer on May 11, 2010, 03:26:03 PM But according to that ... since I 8GB.No way did you consume Great Britain. a system with 12gb of ram. You could get one of those from dell. |
