Yeah, that computer is fine for what you are going to use it for.  I didn't see the specification on the size of the hard drive that comes with it.  Since you will be storing a lot of videos, you will want a lot of storage on your harddrive.  At least 30 gigabytes.  Just ask them when your going to purchase it and make sure that the hard drive is bigger than 30 gigabytes.

Depends on what you do really. if you just use it for basic word processing, its probably not a big deal. but if you use it for more intense things such as development or gaming, then yes, its really time for an upgrade. The processor of the new model you mentioned will be roughly 3 to 4 times more powerful. Even more maybe since your computer is kind of old. Also look at RAM (memory) and you should get at least 512 mb 600 mhz. However, your computer way obsolete when it comes to power. But like I said, depending on what you do, it may not be an issue.

Check out frozencpu.com; u can get a few good parts from them, otherwise either buy a prepackaged computer or ask a nerdy friend.... Always look at the newest technology; Pentium 4, Lanparty motherboard, ATA2 Harddrive, Windows Vista, ATI graphics card

Go to PC world and buy an eMachines or Compac. You should only be spending @£500 - £600 My 12 yr old has a Compac Presario and My 9yr old has a eMachines.The eMachines is a very good spec' and will cost @£500. The Compac is more capable, but would cost you @£650. Both are used for Online Gaming, School Work (We installed Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition on both.)\nYou only need to spend @£650+ if you want higher end graphics.

the processor is REALLY slow, screen tiny, video card is junk, all you can do on it is go on the internet, music, but not at the same time....homework. the Ram is good, but i would just buy a desktop that's a lot better for a little more.\naround 600 bucks you can get a good one that can run music and the internet well, but games will be ok...

Hard to suggest a good one unless I know what you are intending to use it for.  If it is for on-line gaming that is a different configuration then if it is for Internet research and college class work which would be completely different from AutoCad design work.\n\nBest thing to do is figure out what you want to do with it and approximately how much you are willing to spend.  Then check out the sites:\n\nwww.dell.com\n\nwww.ibm.com\n\nwww.gateway.com\n\nwww.hp.com\n\nThen price compare for what you want.

Emachines will be a bum. I am getting a dell. My sister has a HP Laptop and it is OK. I heard a lot of great stuff about a Compaq. I still would take a dell

Go for a branded PC of HP or Dell.\n\nYou should look for P4 2.88Ghz or 3Ghz with 1 GB of RAM, 17" SVGA monitor, 180GB of HDD, Built in NIC with at least 32MB of video ram.

I suggest that you might opt to choose a Pentium 4 LGA775 HT Technology. So that you could max up your applications and tasks to the fullest...

Compaqs are not a good idea!!  I have a Dell notebook and paid a little over $750 total for it.

it's ok for internet and word processing, but on board graphics and 256mb of ram arent so good....gaming is out with this set up. about 6 years ago dell was the king of computers.....unfortunately today they are not. it's a good computer, but i do build my own and they are better they any dell i have ever seen. having worked in the computer repair field for a number of years, i would put dell and gateway as even and h/p and compaq as close seconds to them.

It's unfortunate but the machine (due to the newest changes in technology) is almost a thing of the past. Not only has the technology changed drastically, prices since 2001 have dropped tremendously. I now sell New Laptops with great processing time, sdram memory, video memory, wireless 802.11 ethernet, cd/dvd burner, etc for about $550. My advise to you would be to keep it and use it, I'm sure it works well, or do like me and donate it to the Home for Abused Women or Locks of Love (childrens cancer programs where it can really be used and the kids will love you forever.  Thanks for your time. Larry RadioShack 01-9590

With a Celeron M Processor, 1.5 GHZ, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB disk drive & a DVD drive - $659+ (only 19 models found)\n\nYou can have more choice when you don't limit the processor. Just by not selecting any processor, the search returned over 180 models!!\n\nWith the above, but with any processor $599+

When you find your best deals, list them all and show them to a computer knowledgable person at a computer shop (hopefully where you are buying some stuff from - I would recommend the case, because then you can always go back there and ask how to hook something up and they should be familiar with it) and ask what they think and if everything is compatible. They should offer suggestions or let you know that you are doing good. If they don't, go to another one.
