I'm about to get a Pentium 4 1.6 GHZ w/256 ram...Windows 2000 PRO etc...
I might be ignorant, but does the Athlon come with Windows 2000 Pro?
In actually which CPU IS BETTER? I'm racking my brains on this and I shouldn't.
Also do I require 32 MB Video Ram CARD?, a 56 CD ROM???
i WAS HAPPY WITH MY INTEL PENTIUM 100 MHZ but I require more speed/RAM utilizing
Chesbase 7/Chess Assistant 6.1, Fritz 6, Shredder 6...etc.
I probably am making too much of this but thei is what I had offered:
936.00
1.6 GHZ Pentium 4
256 RAM...I'd rather have 512 an extra 80.00
floppy drive
CD Re-writer 56
56 MB cd rom
32 MB vidie card
sound
speakers
network CD
40 gig HD
keyboard
mouse/logitech
Windows 2000 Pro
a monitor would be new 155.00 new/ refurbished 100.00
an I get away with the 56 CD ROM & Network CD...WOULD BE 67.00 OFF
REMEMBER i GET NO MODEM BUT CAN AT A LATER DATE. I WOULD RATHER NOT, TOO
ADDICTING TO BE ON THE INTERNET
bASICALLY: i'M JUST LOOKING FOR MY PROGRAMS TO RUN, TO ANALYZE CHESS GAMES AND
DO WORD PROCESSING WITH mICROSIFT WOD FOR MY CHES CLU.
wHY AM i STARTING TOLOOK AT THESE aTHLON MACHINES?
aM i CRAZY.......pLEASE EXCUSE ALL THE TYPOS W/ CAPS...i'M GOING STIR CRAZY ON
THIS COMPUTER TODAY...PROBABLY because I'm a physical therapist and taking care
of my mom who has Alzheimers 24 hours a day and trying to train for an
bodybuilding contest 6 months from now, of which I won 2 yrs. age.
Sorry if I sound like a geek, especialy on my typing. Hels!!
