| 488546 | 2006-10-02 02:34:00 | AMD-K6 3D Processor 350 MHz 320 Ram ... Win XP possibly, windows xp costs more than that, but why would you buy it to run xp? it would run like a legless dog - not very fast if at all or are you selling? |

| 488547 | 2006-10-02 02:54:00 | someone at work is selling it & someone else is looking to buy it. | Pauline (641) | ||
| 488548 | 2006-10-02 03:18:00 | Try it before you buy, to test how slow it may be at opening and running programs. OK for $100 if you are on a tight budget. | Strommer (42) | ||
| 488549 | 2006-10-02 03:35:00 | Yes it's for someone on a budget. Is it because it's running XP that it would be slow? for the size of it. I am ringing potential buyer tonight to let them know. Pauline. |

| 488550 | 2006-10-02 03:49:00 | AMD-K6 3D Processor 350 MHz 320 Ram Monitor Philips 105 MB 15" Nero CD burner drive Win XP office Xp 2003 If it is a legit copy of Office, with the CD AND the serial number ( on a COA) then yes. If the software is pirated no. It would have to come with the CD and serial number sticker for both Windows and Office. As for the CD Writer - Nero is the software it comes with not the brand. I would also want to know what brand the motherboard is and what brand the hard drive is, so I could tell if it was quality or rubbish - thus giving an indication of expected problems. And everyone is right - it would run Windows XP like a crippled pig. Its better off running Windows 98 Second Edition. |

Ask if the owner can supply proof of authenticity - if not you're paying $50 for the guy to click Next Next Next on his pirated software. |

| 488554 | 2006-10-02 09:44:00 | to add.... it would be better with a k6-2 500mhz (or higher IF you can get it). some of the ~300 mhz ones use pc66 ram (66mhz fsb) and run a lot slower than those that run pc100 (100mhz fsb). also a 350 mhz cpu is really bottom end for a cd burner and with a bloated OS proberly will be unusable. |
