Not much a amd fan but yeah nice find!

Looks decent but I'd definitely upgrade the memory. 2 GB at 64 bit is almost like having 1 GB on a 32 bit OS. It has to do with the way memory is allocated and used. It's a bit lean. 4 GB minimum, 8 GB much better!

It's amazing...
My first "real" computer I got in 1998. Al4a and I went to Circuit City and got the most powerful PC's they had for our office. HP's with Pentium 3 800 Mhz processors and 256KB of ram

We were like: "Wow! This shit is smoking fast!" And they cost over $3,000 each. We were so impressed that you could actually burn a CD on them. lol

Amazing how far things have come in such a short time.

I remember buying my first xt system at radio shack and the salesman telling me it had the new
30mb hard drive and how it would take a lifetime to use all that space lol

And it would have too! There weren't many files back then of any real size for the average consumer to have or ever use.

I think it was back around 2000 that engineers said we had reached the limits of hard drive capacity. I think our hp's had 80 gig hard drives and that was HUGE.

And then like a year later I read this scientific report that Israeli scientist had figured out a way to put more data on hard drives and now the sky was the limit. lol

I always figured there must have been a UFO crash right about then and some reverse engineering going on to figure it out. heh-heh
