So the "antivirus2008" or whatever I got about a month ago has pretty much ruined my 7 year old computer.
I am in the market for a computer (tower only) that will be good for pretty much just surfing the web, maybe a minimal game, photos and thats about it.
There were a couple on dells website that I liked but ive been out of the computer world for so long I have no idea what is good anymore. I added another GB of ram otherwise its stock like the link.
Inspiron 570 Desktop Details | Dell
THere was also an HP at bestbuy that didn't seem to bad but i've heard horror stories about HP's.
HP - Slimline Desktop / AMD Athlon™ II Dual-Core Processor / 3GB Memory / 640GB Hard Drive - s5510y
I have never owned an HP so who knows. I have however used Dells at work for the last 7 years (laptop and desktop) and have been happy with them.
I dont need anything fancy, just something thats going to work. I dont game anymore on the PC so that isn't an issue.
I currently have a AMD xp2000 @1.6Ghz, 1GB ram on a Shuttle board, GeForce TI4200, 40GB and a 10GB HDD running XP Pro. Its old, I want a new computer and the version of XP that I 'bought' in 2003 is missing.
I know a lot of you guys are really good with computers and building them. Im sure a few of you probably vomited a the idea of buying a prebuilt computer but I really have no desire research and build one. I want to buy one that when it gets here, I can turn it on and with minimal effort, be back up and running.
Thanks!
