1181136 2011-02-24 05:29:00 I have been offered ( from a dealer ) a tower, mother board (CPU : Intel E5500 2.8GHz dual core--2 gb DDR3 ram--500 gb hardrive--opitical driveDVD Writer--case, Easteck-ET-3380BSR 420 watt,
Question :-
Is this a "cheap and future problem set up", and will it have me backed into a corner with a limited life, poor performance and upgrade potential, or not


Well. It doesn't say what brand these parts are. Like the motherboard. And PSU.

If it's just the board - why not just upgrade the one you have? Like keep Windows, the optical drive, case, HDD and change the rest?

1181137 2011-02-24 05:53:00 Hi PC Tek,

I planned on doing just that- all said and done old as this pooter is- it is fast -have W 7 office 2007 etc what more would I want

yeah right

The plugs won't fit-out of date; the ram is DDR 400 and so on--my request to this firm was use my tower , powerpak, W 7 ( and SP 1 :p, ----

only put in new motherboard CPU and ram- and to me I should be away laughing---not so, nothing is compatible
