Who thinks this is a pretty good deal?

Question

Dell Optiplex GX150 Pentium 3 1GHz / 384MB PC133 SDRAM / 20GB HDD / DVD-ROM

Is this good for $130.00?
The computer has the designed for Windows XP sticker.

I'm not going to be playing games on it. I just want a fair secondary PC that I can surf the web with and stuff like that.

Answer 1

Yeah, that is fine. The speed is relatively slow and the hard drive is small, but what do you want for $130.00? I wouldn't plan on doing much more than surfing the net and relatively simple things, as the speed and size of the drive will be issues.

I would go with something less than XP. XP is a memory hog and I.M.O. would be too slow for the computer you are using, but if it is good enough, go ahead and use it.

Answer 2

Forget about it... If you want a computer to play games on...

3.1 Ghz is good but you should spend the money for 1 Gbyte ram
a minimum of 120 G hard drive and the best graphics card you can afford

If you don't want it for games, you still want a 120 Gbyte Hard drive and a minimum of 500 Mbyte Ram

Go for the minimum and you will be unhappy

Answer 3

is it just the computer without the monitor? does it actually have xp on it? any other software that came with it? either way, it sounds pretty awesome to me. you have a decent sized hard drive, a quick processor and a dvd-rom. unfortunately no burners, but for 130...yeah it sounds awesome. almost too good to be true though. you better make sure it works before you buy it. good luck!

Answer 4

What do you get besides the computer? Keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor, operating system (with disk)? You might need a bit more memory.

Answer 5

Nice price

Answer 6

Sure, I'd buy it if I was you.
