Moved to Deal Discussion forum.

 

Yes that's a good deal on a desktop.

 

Does it have a PCI-E video graphics slot?

Oops i posted in the wrong place... sorry! But anyways, i looked this up online and this is what they advertised from Staples... i don't even know what is the processor speed.

Here's a link to the specs on another site, it's 1.8GHz.

I guess its alright, nothing to be wild about.... i just need a "hold over". Something to hold my sister over till she gets a Mac next year. i guess this will suffice. her old system broke and rather hash out an extravagant amount to repair i was looking for something cheap and simple and can last her up to a year and half.

It's perfect for her and doesn't really need to be upgraded out of the box except for maybe the video card.

 

Sempron 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM, 120GB, combo DVD/CD-RW, it's pretty loaded for a cheap machine.

As always Rossman, thanks for your expert advice. I better go get it tomorrow, its last day for the sale.

You're welcome, happy to help :)

 

CC had a better deal which ended today. It was a loaded Acer PC for $289 with no rebates. Specs were a little better.

Compared to many other online stores and retail stores, this seems like a good deal

God I love my Compaq computers. I have always had a Compaq at home

and work.

 

We are now equipped with Dell's in our cars with fingerprint technology and they suck. The motherboard went, my wireless card went, the screen had dead pixals in it, and now my finger print reader is dead and this thing is not even a year old.

 

Compaq specs look great for the price you can't lose...You can pickup

ram cheap anywhere if i remember correctly sd ram does not have to be upgraded in pairs.
