| 153897 | 2003-06-21 00:27:00 | ok and i know most of you have heard this before, what ram or memory amount do i or should i get for this puter? and apart from a printer and possibly email at some stage i wont need anything else on it, has anyone seen anything suitable between $ 1-2 thousand? or less? have had a flyer about Dell computers buying online (new) anyone seen that mailbox flyer? or has anyone used / got a Dell? remeber this thing wont need all bells and whistles just a plain simple puter. (LOL is thier such a thing?) and my location is Wanganui so my store positioning is not great ( access to them i mean) and i would like good back up if something goes wrong. any ideas? beetle |

| 153898 | 2003-06-21 00:44:00 | The Dell Dimension 2350 for $1400 or $1500 is fine. We have a couple at work. Only thing is, from reading your last post, you want win98, not xp, so that will be a problem with Dell. | wotz (335) | ||
| 153899 | 2003-06-21 00:46:00 | What have you got there...dick smith, wharehouse stationary? They usually have the "deals" but because they rely on others for backup, that may not be suitable. Tried approaching a couple of local companies and asking them ? Let them know that you are seeking prices elsewhere and to keep their quotes competitive. Not familiar with Wanganui, so unable to help with actual names. |

| 153900 | 2003-06-21 00:56:00 | This Computer shop is in your home town :First Computers (www.firstcomputers.co.nz) They offer barebones systems which may suit you as you have only basic needs for this computer and already have a monitor. This set up (www.firstcomputers.co.nz) may suit you. Just need to add a hard drive (20 gig 5400 rpm), CPU (basic intel celeron), and some RAM. You should be able to get Win98 OEM from them as well. Being from your home town will mean easier access to support if and when you need it. |

| 153902 | 2003-06-21 01:16:00 | Dell ships with winxp home as standard. I doubt you will get them to supply win98, so you will pay for WinXp and still have to get a copy of Win98. | wotz (335) | ||
| 153903 | 2003-06-21 02:22:00 | Friend of mine got someone's old dunga took it to a computer person had a cd rom stuck in(2nd hand) - all up $300 . 1 . 2 gig HDD 32Megs ram (old stuff) and . . . uh can't remember exactly but something like 300 mhz CPU and it works fine . The comp . I use has 700 mhz CPU 128 megs Ram and there is no noticeable difference . (To the human user that is . ) You don't have to spend very much if you want to do emails, a bit of surfing, lite usage . I belive most people have vastly overpowered computers for what they use them for . m:Dc |

| 153904 | 2003-06-21 02:39:00 | er callista is a hospitality program that runs the phone system and booking in / out of people at motel.. and we did have about 70 + ram put into current system for original computer to be boosted but at around 100 it still was not enuf to run it succesfully before it got zapped by a power surge due to car taking out pole down the street. so we just may need a little more memory / ram beetle |

| 153906 | 2003-06-21 02:53:00 | oh,and nothing wrong with Dell's untill its time to get it looked at,then you hit the exact same problems one gets when buying through companies situated elsewhere. | metla (154) | ||
