Kais3r Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Im looking for a really good computer for as cheap as I can get it that has similar to the following specs 1-2 GB RAM, upgradable to 8 Intel dual core processor Hardrive Good video card and other good specs, I dont need screen, or speakers, or an OS
Marcster Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 If you don't need an OS you're better off building something from scratch from a place like www.newegg.com. Why pay for an OS you aren't going to use? No pre-fab computer is going to state that it will support 8GB of RAM. And most won't come with a video card period, much less a good video card (most pre-fab computers get buy with integrated graphics). Most pre-fab computers are bundled with keyboards/mice, monitors, speakers, etc. unless you spec something out from www.dell.com, www.hp.com, etc. Also, don't forget that even though the motherboard may support up to 8 GB of RAM, Windows 32-bit OSes will only support about 3.25 GB. Read this: http://www.vistaclues.com/reader-question-32-bit-vista-memory-limits/ You'll need a 64-bit version of Windows (Vista or XP Pro) or Linux to have any hopes of using 4 GB or more of RAM.
Kais3r Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 Im from southeastern PA also, thats cool. I just need a computer that will run games now and I want to try to find really good deals, like refurbished, or dented, or other reasons why it would sell for less. Also, I would use an OS if it comes with it, but it wont be needed as I have a copy of XP Pro
Marcster Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 If you are looking for refurbs and scratch & dent, there's always Dell's Outlet. www.dell.com And there's also Dell's off-lease department... some good deals there: http://www.dfsdirectsales.com
