a friend got this computer from college it seemed ok till i looked inside.
intel celleron 2.8 ghz 256 L2 cache socket lga775(ok)
mobo sis661gx-m7+964 southB(seems ok)supports dual channel 400 up to 2gigs(good)
256mb pc3200 CL2.5(need more)
onboard sound(6 channel)ok
onboard video(ok)
case is ok..has room for some extra fans(ok)
and then theres the psu.
PSU?...haha noticed that when i went to install a 80mm fan inline with the HD and had problems booting up..industry standard 250watt psu 2x12 volt rails one at 10 amps and the other at 13 amps, i guess that would explain the boot prob with the fan powered by the same rail as the hd...hooked it up with the dvd-rom and worked fine
SOOOO.. suggested to here she should at least put a Antec or other well known PSU in there and add some more ram."she said" ok...you have 200 bucks to spend on this thing to make it better.."I said" Ok.
So figure an Antec 350 to 430watt( no pci-e)plus she does not play any intensive games so i dont think she wont need more than that .plus add atleast 1 gig of ram 2x512 or 1gig whichever i can get cheaper.
Sound Good?
