stlmale: Well my first computer back around 1995 was a Pentium I, 133mz, I believe that was about a year after the Pentium Chip was on the market and that 133 mghz Pentium with 32 meg ram and a 14 inch monitor cost 2800 dollars. Just recently took it apart to repair to friends computers too. For internet crap, the most important thing is the ISP and that you use a DSL or Cable connection, after that you can't tell a 3000 dollar computer from a 800 dollar computer if you are strictly surfing with it.
[quote author=Finedessert link=board=99;num=1035464697;start=0#3 date=10/25/02 at 08:09:35]I don't want anyone to think that I'm Mr. Money Bags, but this little Jewel that I'm on now cost a total of $3,606.82 delivered to my doorstep, and it was outdated even before I got it.
The computer that I replaced with this one (and I still have it) was a Micron that cost $ 2,356.00. on that one I went out and bought a CD Burner so the kids that worked for me could download their Rock Music and burn it to a CD. ( I'm such a nice guy....lol )
My third computer I use for business records only.In my first post I said I was a speed freak, so in the past Eight Years I have bought 5 computers, each one being faster and faster than the last one.
BTW, Although the kids don't work for me anymore they still come buy to burn CD's.
I also have a webcam to Netmeet with.
Any Questions?
