Decent Computer????
    #7569610 - 10/28/07 01:37 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

i have a used Dell 3400+512MB-80GB-CDRWDVD with 17" LCD flat screen monitor w/ an AMD Semprorr processor. i also have another Kingston KVR400/512R card that does not want to fit and a 256 MB video card that i have not tried to install yet. what kind of ram card do i need to look for that would fit this PC and would anyone be interested in the 512 MB card i have now. maybe we could trade. ( i know that part is meant for marketplace, which i will be posting here in a sec) I'm just wondering if what i have is an okay computer, i guess I'm just looking for feed back and some advice on what i could do to better the PC. thanks

I agree, best to just scrap it and get a new computer. These days dual core is minimum and that motherboard should be fairly ancient.

It also entirely depends on what you need to use the computer for.

Tell me the type of mother board(brand and model) and i can tell you what kind of ram you need. Or give me the numbers on the ram you already own.

Well an intel dual core with 1.7ghz is a nice processor, 2gig ddr2 will be plenty of ram. i'd do with 256mb gpu unless u wanna do some serious gaming, if so up it to 512. A nice big fan to stop overheating and thats your basic pc.

his motherboard cant fit that socket type because he needs an amd processor not intel and probably the same for ddr2 ram

so..... all that means? sorry man but i don't know too much about computers. all i got from all the posts is that my computer sucks! my last PC was an emachine and it lasted a good 3 months before it died on me. i thought this PC would be a step up, but like i said i really don't know anything about this subject. would anyone happen to know a link to a step by step PC clean up?

Well, what do you want to do with your computer? I would keep your 3400 and use it as a multimedia PC or file sever though.

i don't do anything special, besides play half life which seems to be working kinda okay and fucking around on shroomery. i just wanted to know if the computer i have, which I'm paying 95.00/ monthly for 12 months is worth it and what i can do to better my PC experience. i really just want to run smoother with no bumps and a lot quicker. i also want to know how it compares with other PC's out there.

No! Drop that now, you're getting ripped off. Who ever is giving you that deal is a jerk off. I hope you haven't been renting it for more than a few months. You could build a computer for a few hundred dollars to play half life but aren't you going to want to play some newer games?

yes, I'm renting it from aarons. i cant get a lot of money up front, it would take me a few months too get a decent amount of money and i needed a computer now because my g/f is pregnant and we always have a lot of random questions only the internet can answer.

i checked out both computers from both links and those are some nice ass PC's. id just rather have a PC now then save for a few months and have to wait. i think that with a little more convincing and advertisement i could possibly change my mind.
