i have intill the 31 of this month to get a barebone system for free but i want to to be cheap becuase i will probly pay it back but i was thinking about this here but im not sure if it comes with ram cpu becuase of the list on the upper right corner if anyone could help becuase even if its cheap i dont to get it then have to go get stuff for it or do u have any other ideas i need it to be a cheap as possible there are my own reasons for it to be cheap becuase i might hurt it beond repair me and my friend are going to experiment with it diffrent linuxes how many viruses we and get on it and other things u would never what to do
i also noticed that it's got integrated grfx - not good and it's only got a 275W PSU, not many modern PC's will work with less than a decent make 400W PSU or more
Those barebones systems are often just a case, a PSU and a motherboard - in this case it's a Socket 754 Motherboard - they're old and CPU's aren't produced for that socket anymore.
ok i did a few more hours of searching and found these this is the barebone system Page Computers cpu Intel Celeron D 351 3.20GHz 256KB Cache 533MHz FSB OEM Socket 775 Processor HH80547RE088CN at TigerDirect.com ram(i will upgrade to 2g later) DDR DIMM Memory, 184-pin DDR DIMM Memory, DIMM Memory, Computer Memory DIMM, Memory DIMM 184 if u guys can tell me if the mobo will suport that cpu because at the barebone site they say intel p4 but the celeron is cheaper and has the same bus and socket?? i will searcher later into the cpu/mobo compaiblty
.yeh celeron is cheaper but it is shite compared to the p4.u cant really play games on it or intensive task, only internet browsing and office applications really. i wud reccommend at least a p4
Celerons are P4's with their 'wings clipped' so to speak. They have lower FSB's and less L2 cache - often they're CPU's which were intended for P4 use but had damaged parts of the cache - they're sold as Celerons as they can shut off the damaged cache and use only the good cache.
the p4 cost alot more that celeron is like 60 usd and the cheapest p4 was 119 but the celeron will work on that mobo right? o and i just thought of this my sister just got a new computer and it has xp on it, if it has a recovery disk could i use that to install xp on the new system
Well that would mean using 1 XP licence for 2 computers and that's not allowed for standard liscences. You'd have to buy your own XP licence.
well would it install and not beable to use the auto updater or just no install if the installing xp will not work i will just try linux but linux isnt realy that good for gameing
What you're wanting to do is illegal and we do not condone it on this forum. I'm afraid I'm not going to discuss that any further.
so your sure that the celeron will work i might get a p4 later or maybe a core2 extream if the celeron isnt that bad
