I guess it depends on how bad your current computer is. For the price, what you are getting isn\'t bad... only thing I don\'t like is the celeron & 256MB of RAM. And you can always upgrade the RAM down the road if you find it a little sluggish.

^^^i had a pc, but that thing was soooo slow had viruses all over the place..i couldn\'t even log on to it...it was in pretty bad shape...i just want something that i can get into the inetrnet with...nothing too fancy..

for an internet machine it\'s perfect

you know about virus protection and spyware sweepers don\'t you? 90% of the computers I work on are because people tell me they are running slow, and it\'s because they have years of spyware and viruses on it and have no idea how to fix it.

Not saying that\'s your deal, an old computer will get really slow trying to run the newest software and whatnot, but a little prevenitive maintence every few weeks keeps problems from getting too severe.

That may explains why its not that expensive...
