Speed: 1500 MHz
Memory: 479 MB RAM
Video: Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Con....
Avail. Hard Disc: 37.26 GB

Im running Windows XP Home Edition.

I have no idea what this stuff means. Is this good? Could it be better? How much would it cost?

The machine is decent. I have a machine that is faster (pretty new), but also an older one that is much slower. As far as getting a faster one...why? The only reason I have updated my machines or gotten new ones were because either (a) various components eventually died, or (b) I noticed my machine was really slow for what I was trying to use it for. If you aren't running into either of those problems, I'd suggest just sticking with the machine you have. If the system is slow for particular tasks you are trying to perform, you can just upgrade the parts that you need (typically ask the maker of the relevant software what is most important for you to upgrade; most the time all I've ever needed was a bit of additional memory, which happens to be the cheapest upgrade).

8 out of 10 As for why, well you have a maxed out processor but there's definately some other improvements that can be made. The RAM could have been faster at 1600Mhz. The video card is not the best either but it is very good. The hard drive is just standard stuff. You could have used a raid 0 setup or an SSD for more points. Finally, the case isn't the best either. With all that aside, the processor is great and all your components are at the high end of the scale but not quite the top as I showed in the previous paragraph. Therefore, I would give it a 8 out of 10, or maybe a 7.5

That depends on how you will be using your computer. Sure, there are faster, newer machines out there, but if you are only using the computer for internet browsing, email, word processing, etc. it should be sufficient.

Don't get anxious to get a newer, faster computer just to get the new Windows Vista either... Its not quite ready for everybody just yet--Microsoft is already planning a Service Pack to fix all the nuisance issues that pop up after it is distributed to the public.

Long story short, your computer sounds like a basic computer that should fit the needs of most computer users. If you are a programmer or high-tech gamer, it would be sub-par compared to what you could go out and buy. But then these more advanced computers cost about twice the price.

If I were you, I'd sit tight, save up some money and get a newer, faster computer about this time next year.

Better than mine. But only slightly. Mine's at least 3 years old and has less than that. What do you need to rank it against?

It's like half the power of the max.. but a quarter of the max ram. I'd recommend a discussion board for this question, not Y! Answers.

It depends what you need your computer for. It's not worth upgrading what you have, its cheaper to buy a new one. If you are not having problems with what you are using your computer for now, its a waste of money to buy a new one.

It's just fine.
I recommend http://daol.aol.com/convenience/ccu <- this to check the computer. It says what could be better and what is good about it.
