| 750268 | 2009-02-25 08:58:00 | Wait a minute What model/size is the monitor? Is the front of the screen flat? the Mitsubishi Diamond Pro monitors use a Mitsi Diamondtron tube, meaning they have excellent picture quality. Some models were over $1000 new a few years back. Typically a decent screen like the one I have described will sell on trademe for $50 - $80, providing it's a good model. Do your homework (google it :)) |

| 750269 | 2009-02-25 20:53:00 | <snip> I do 98% of my work on a P3-500, running W98. It's great. Perfectly adequate. You do NOT need GHz speeds to play on the net... not even with broadband (which is still loads slower than dino-PC's like mine. Yours however could easily be 'flooded' with broadband, but has merit for dial-up). True enough, but only up to a point - this thing is useless for any web use, even via dialup. It doesn't have enough ram to run any Windows OS newer than Win98 (which means no security patches), and isn't even close to having enough ram for a modern browser. You'd also run into severe CPU bottlenecks on dynamic pages, and flash would be unusable. Please don't inflict this thing on SeniorNet et al, just take it to the next eday (or whatever they call these in your region) and have it recycled. |
