This computor for £80 is it worth it?

[Albion]

Well i saw an ad in the newspaper as my mum wont let me have one for my birthday :eusa_wall And tbh i don't have that much money and im not allowed to take any out of my bank, so if this is an alright pc, i will sell my runescape account on sythe.

I want it to be compatible with runescape, habbo , can hold allot of Tunes, and can take wireless broadband (with that USB stick for reciver )

Specs (sorry this is all they put)

Pentium 3
993 mhz PC, 136GB HDD 256mb RAM , USB network CDROM , modem , 17" Monitor,Windows XP ,Office XP ,

Can you tell me downsides and stuff, if i should buy it, if not why shouldnt i buy it?

Thanks!

It would do what you wanted, though not very well.

[Albion]

why not very well ? Is it worth it?

[Axel]

It's fine for playing Habbo and Runescape, and doing basic computer thing, but not much good at anything else.

[Lycan]

Honestly. Its Scrap junk

the only things you could pull from it that would make the 80 is the harddrive which judging from the number is more then one pushed together and the mointor.

would do what you wanted it to do though.

Haha my CRAPtop (i put emphasis on the CRAP because I do have a proper laptop), has 667MHz Processor upgraded to 128MB RAM from 64. Its useless unless I put Linux or Win 2000/ME and below on.

[Albion]

I need a pc tho :)))

and what pc u got jaffa? is it worser than the one i may be getting?

[Recursion]

Mine is abit crap but its not that bad, its:

2.2GHz Pentium 4
768MB RAM
around 280GB Harddrive.
nVidia GeForce FX 5600 GFX Card.

Thats rubbish in todays world. Today the average PC for gaming/internet etc... would be:

2.4 and Above Procesoor
1GB - 4GB RAM
500GB Harddrive
nvidia 8600

[Albion]

that's an old computer.
probably slow.
umm, probably not the best computer to buy.
try searching on ebay or something for cheap ones.
you can probably buy one more expensive but A LOT better.

[Shawnstra]

omg , i pmsl'd

[FlyingJesus]

Why's everyone saying no to this? The kid doesn't have much and for £80 that seems fairly nice, just needs a boost to the RAM. That one up for sale is better than mine lol, including the RAM.. I really should buy some more

[Anarchy]

This ones pretty decent for its price. Little over your pice limit though.
( if 80 is your limit )
