FallowEarth Posted February 3, 2006 CID Share Posted February 3, 2006 I got bored, so I came up with this. I used tigerdirect.com. Gets you 400W PSU, 2.93 GHz Celeron, 1.5 GB RAM, 256 MB AGP8X vid card, 160 GB HDD, GB NIC, and a DVD+/-RW. Price tag says $522.94, but doesn't include $125 in rebates, so you're looking at $397.94. <edit> tweaked it a bit, so i had to put up another screenshot Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10989-performance-on-a-400-dollar-line/#findComment-114780 Share on other sites More sharing options...

amc11890 Posted February 3, 2006 CID Share Posted February 3, 2006 Im not much of a celeron fan either... not very good for gaming. I would prob go amd if i was gonna go gaming but with ur price limit then the celeron will get the job done Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10989-performance-on-a-400-dollar-line/#findComment-114855 Share on other sites More sharing options...

richcornucopia Posted February 3, 2006 CID Share Posted February 3, 2006 What are so bad about celerons? They are slow compared to other processor lines, but they are a good choice for a budget pc.

Maybe never noticed but celerons do make noise Actually I have noticed that. Celeron 700 in my old lappy. It would randomly make this snapping noise when it was really thinking.
