Didn't see the link. Have you looked at www.computersurplusoutlet?

that's quite a deal. But I'd be concerned that it only has 128 meg of RAM. I'm running Windows XP with 256 meg of RAM and I'd like to move up to 512 meg. Most computers that come bundled with WindowsXP ususally are 256 or 512 meg RAM machines

It isn't running XP it is running linux. On a different note I have a stick of 128 laying around the house somewhere.

I have played with this system at Frys electronics..This computer can not handle any upgrade whatsoever..To increase your ram is damn near impossible..the mother board will only support 512Megs Dimm 168pin 133Mhz ram..also The proccesor is strictley for net cruising and Email..That is all this is capable of...It takes an Entire Admin team to load XP on it also..If your current 500Mhz System is a Celoron or an AMDK6 you are better off just getting a new harddrive and More ram for what you have now...Unless you are doing Serious Graphic Rendering..Your processor will be fine for Almost everything you would normally do..You just need to decide what you plan on doing with it..The Emachines Model with a 2.2gig celoron proccesor and 512DDR w/a DVD drive andm a CDrw drive is only $499 also at frys and is seriously upgradeable....

Kona, mine is an E-Machine also and it has given me no problems.

Oh yeah..I had the old 466Mhz eMachine Celoron I maxed the Ram on it, used a TCP optimizer and Boy with DSL it screamed on the net...You really shoud put your dollars down on that machine..Remember itsnot the computers fault that windows runs so crappy...and if all you do is cruise the net, rip a cd or 2 then a good investment is a machine with solid ram and a good Front side Bus Speed of atleast 400Mhz...The proccesor is really only a consideration if you are a gamer or DO alot of 3d rendering...a decent 64 meg video card will do wonders for crappy monitors also..WHich ever is on sale is the best one..if you stick with a good name brand...

Why not build one? Find a store that sells barebones system, get the additional parts you need, and you'll get more computer for the same or maybe less money.

What about this?

Kona....when choosing a comp, remember that the MoBo equates to a bike frame....

you are right... why buy a huffy whaen i like kona's?

Kona MBs have the coolest colors...Like riding Candy...

Speaking of RAM, my PC originally came with 256 MB DDR RAM and WinXP. I upgraded to 512 MB which made a difference for Windows and did not make a difference for Linux (Linux already ran pretty smooth before the upgrade). This goes to show how memory hungry and processor hunger XP can be.

soyo dragon boards are very pretty. I usually love having a clear transparent side on my pc's so that would be pretty.

kona, 3 notes

Make sure the motherboard you get will support DDR PC2100 at a minumum. PC133 is on its way out. With PC133 slots only, upgrade path is a dead end.

Make sure motherboard can handle up to at least XP 2400 CPU (if for AMD) upgrade path same as before. A lot of 'deals' are discontinued MB's that have limited CPU upgrade ability, even with BIOS updates.

Get at least 350 watt power supply (400 - 450 is better). If you go to a faster processor, you'll need the wattage.

Whoa that's one cheap computer... I'd think a little harder before you buy this.

I really do like those Summertime Saving girls in the banner in the top right hand corner of that web page you supplied
