Answer 2

I looked at the ad and it does not say what operating system is installed. I doubt that it is Windows XP. Probably some other Linux knock off. Might not be a good choice for you. I do not know for sure. It sounds like a good deal but I would buy it and add another 256 MBytes of memory to bring it up to 512MBytes for better performance.

Answer 3

Sounds ok.The 256 ram a lot slower than the more update computers but for that price it sounds alright.Make sure it works.

Answer 4

If it is new, still in the original box, and you can tell it is not been open. Then by all means go for it.
If it is used, I would not touch. You can not judge a computer by how it looks on the outside.
Ask your self why are they sailing so cheap.

Answer 5

If your just gonna use it for basic uses like Playing Music, printing off homework and typing papers. That will do! but any other then that! this isnt a very good PC for heavy usage.

Answer 6

if u wan to play games with it then no else it sounds like a good system for minor work
